| Obverse description | Struck in the hammered tradition, the obverse presents bold Arabic script arranged across the field within a plain border. The central legend, rendered in a robust Naskh hand, occupies the majority of the flan and bears the regal titulature of the sultan. A Hijri regnal year numeral appears in the lower portion of the field. The coin exhibits characteristic irregular flan edges and a patina of green and brown oxidation consistent with long burial. |

| Reverse description | The reverse displays a multi-line Arabic inscription in bold Naskh script, filling the field and separated by a horizontal line dividing the legend into two registers. The upper register contains the opening portion of the sultan's name and titles, while the lower register continues with further honorifics. The lettering is deeply struck with characteristic thick strokes typical of Gujarat Sultanate copper coinage, and the flan shows the same irregular outline and patinated surface as the obverse. |
