| Obverse description | Central field bearing the emperor's name and titles in flowing Nastaliq Arabic script, arranged in multiple horizontal registers across the flan. The legend reads the imperial name of Aurangzeb Alamgir along with the AH regnal date. The inscription is characteristic of Mughal hammered coinage, with calligraphic strokes filling the coin's surface to its periphery, framed by a linear border. |

| Reverse description | Reverse field displaying the regnal year (RY) date and the mint name Surat (صورت) in Nastaliq Arabic script, arranged in horizontal bands across the flan. The mint epithet and numerical regnal year are clearly delineated within the registers. The hammered flan gives the coin a slightly irregular, planchet-shaped appearance typical of Mughal provincial silver issues, with calligraphic legends extending to the coin's edge. |
