| Obverse description | Crude hammered field bearing a Persian legend arranged across the coin, accompanied by a stylized representation of a sword (toka), a characteristic emblem of this feudatory issue. The inscription and sword device are rendered in low relief typical of provincial Indian copper coinage of the mid-nineteenth century. The flan is irregular, consistent with hand-struck production at a local mint. Known in the numismatic literature as the 'Toka cash' type. |

Additional fragmentary Arabic script elements are visible around the date, consistent with the mint or regnal formula standard to Hyderabad feudatory copper issues. The flan is irregular and slightly spread at the edges, characteristic of hand-struck provincial coinage. Three pellets are visible in the lower portion of the field as decorative or separating elements. |
