| Obverse description | The obverse displays the Qu'aiti Sultanate countermark applied within a small circular incuse punch approximately 10 mm in diameter, bordered by a dotted inner ring. Within the countermark, three lines of Arabic script appear in the field, reading 'الدوله / منصر / ١٣٠٧ سنه', referencing the state authority (al-Dawla), the name Munassar, and the Hijri date 1307. The host coin's original design is largely obscured beneath the countermark, with only faint remnants of the underlying type visible in the surrounding field. |

| Reverse description | The reverse retains the design of the host coin, a British India Quarter Anna of 1890 (KM#231), struck at the Calcutta Mint. The central field bears the crowned and draped effigy of Queen Victoria facing left, surrounded by a toothed border. The legend 'INDIA' appears at the top of the field, 'ONE QUARTER ANNA' encircles the lower portion, and the date '1890' is inscribed in the exergue. The surface shows considerable wear consistent with circulation prior to countermarking. |
