| Obverse description | Broad irregular flan bearing a multi-line Arabic legend in bold relief, arranged in two or three registers divided by a horizontal line across the field. The inscription, struck in the characteristic Mughal naskh style, carries the royal titulature of Emperor Akbar. The flan edges are irregular and slightly ragged, consistent with the hammered coinage of the Urdu Zafar Qarin (imperial camp) mint. The surfaces show typical wear and a red-brown copper patina. |

| Reverse description | Irregular flan displaying a bold Arabic numeral legend in two registers separated by a horizontal line, denoting the Ilahi regnal year 41 (corresponding to 1597 CE). The inscription is struck in raised relief in the Mughal naskh script, occupying the majority of the field. The flan is notably thick and uneven, with rough edges characteristic of hammered camp-mint production. Traces of red-brown patina and surface granularity are evident throughout. |
