| Obverse description | The obverse presents an entirely typographic design in the Persian Nastaliq calligraphic tradition, with four lines of Arabic-script legend occupying the central field. The uppermost line records the Hijri regnal year (سنه ١٣١١), followed by the regnal year of accession (٢٧ جلوس), with the auspicious epithets مصحوب and میمنت مانوس below. The legends are rendered in bold, deeply incuse Nastaliq script, and the entire design is enclosed within a prominent inner beaded border, itself set against a plain rim. |

| Reverse description | The reverse displays four lines of Persian Nastaliq legend filling the entire field, separated by two horizontal rule lines that divide the inscription into distinct registers. The uppermost register bears the denomination (١ اشرافي), followed by the dynastic title of the Nizam (نظام الملک آصف جاه), then the honorific بهادر, and finally the mint name ضرب حیدرآباد in the lower register. The bold, deeply struck calligraphy is enclosed within an inner beaded border, consistent with the obverse treatment, imparting a formal and authoritative character to the coin. |
