| Obverse description | Counterstamp applied to the field of a host fals, bearing Arabic legend reading 'Dangi Urdu' (meaning 'camp dangi') struck within a rectangular cartouche. The surrounding field retains fragmentary Arabic inscriptions from the original host coin, rendered in a bold Naskh script. The surfaces are characteristically rough and irregular, consistent with the crude hammered technique employed at informal military camp mints. The counterstamp is boldly impressed and clearly legible despite the worn condition of the host flan. |

| Reverse description | Reverse of the host fals displaying multi-line Arabic inscription in the field, partially obscured and overlapped due to the counterstamping process. The legend, in Naskh script, retains elements of the original issuing authority's text, including what appear to be formulaic phrases typical of late medieval Islamic copper coinage. Geometric and decorative punctuation marks are visible in the surrounding field. The flan edges are ragged and uneven, reflecting the irregular planchet characteristic of informally struck camp coinage. |
