| Beschrijving voorzijde | Hammered copper flan bearing bold Arabic calligraphic legends in the Delhi Standard style, with the inscription arranged across the field in two registers separated by a horizontal line. The script is rendered in a characteristic bold, cursive hand typical of Gujarat Sultanate copper coinage. The lettering fills the irregular round flan, with noticeable green patination and surface granularity consistent with age and circulation wear. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Reverse displays Arabic inscriptional legends in the Delhi Standard format, distributed across the field and divided by ruled lines into distinct registers. The legends, partially obscured by patination and wear, follow the conventional Sultanate formula attributing sovereignty and religious legitimacy. The flan is irregular and the strike is typical of hammered provincial coinage, with uneven relief and areas of flat striking at the periphery. |

Muzaffar Shah II ruled Gujarat for over three decades, but the years bracketing this issue — 1512 to 1526 — coincide with the period of maximum Portuguese pressure on Gujarat's western ports, particularly following Albuquerque's repeated attempts to seize Diu. The sultanate's coinage continued largely uninterrupted despite this coastal disruption, sustained by the enormous wealth flowing through Cambay and the broader textile trade network.
DR#2244 places this among a well-documented copper fraction series, though attribution of individual specimens within the type can be complicated by inconsistent die alignment and variable flan preparation common to Gujarati copper issues of this period.
