| Obverse description | Central field depicts a lion in full stride attacking an ibex, rendered in relief in a bold, naturalistic style characteristic of Mughal copper coinage of the mid-17th century. The predatory scene shows the lion positioned above the ibex with claws engaged, conveying dynamic movement. The flan is irregular and slightly lobate, with a rough, uneven surface typical of hammered copper issues. No legend or inscription appears on this side. The design occupies the majority of the coin's field with minimal border treatment. |

| Reverse description | Reverse bears a multi-line Arabic inscription in bold Naskh script, filling the central field and arranged across several registers. The legends record the mint epithet and regnal references consistent with Mughal Urdu (military camp) issues of the AH 105x decade, corresponding to the reign of Shah Jahan. The script is vigorously cut but somewhat roughly executed, as typical of anonymous camp mint coppers. The flan edges are irregular with pronounced lobation from the hammering process. No decorative border is present. |
