| Obverse description | Hammered flan bearing a Persian inscription in Naskh script, occupying the central field and partially cut off at the coin's irregular edges, referencing the Mughal emperor Muhammad Akbar II with the epithet 'Sahib-e-Qiran Sani' (Second Lord of the Auspicious Conjunction). The legend is crudely struck in raised relief, typical of provincial hammered coinage. The script fills the field without a formal border. |

| Reverse description | Hammered reverse featuring a prominent trident symbol (trishul) as the central device, radiating from a central pellet in a star-like arrangement, serving as the mint mark of the Daulatgarh workshop. Surrounding the device are Persian inscriptions in raised relief recording the regnal year (sana julus) and the mint name, consistent with Mughal-style provincial coinage. The strike is irregular, with the legend partially visible due to the crudely prepared flan. |
