| Obverse description | Crudely hammered copper flan bearing a three-line Arabic legend in the field, reading 'سکه مبارک / بادشاه غازی / محمد شاه' ('The auspicious coin / King Ghazi / Muhammad Shah'). The inscription is rendered in a bold, angular Naskh script characteristic of Mughal provincial copper coinage. The lettering occupies the majority of the flat, undecorated field with no border ornament. The surfaces display the typical irregular striking and uneven flan edges associated with hammered dam coinage of this reign. |

| Reverse description | Hammered reverse field bearing a three-line Arabic legend reading 'جلوس میمنت / مانوس ضرب / الچپور' ('The auspicious accession / Mint of / Elichpur'). The inscription identifies the issuing mint as Elichpur, a provincial Mughal mint in the Deccan region. The script is executed in a cursive Naskh style typical of Mughal copper coinage, with strokes showing the characteristic asymmetry of hand-struck provincial issues. No decorative border or additional ornamental elements are present in the field. |
