| Obverse description | Central field features a stylized animal figure, likely a lion or quadruped, depicted in profile and rendered in a bold, somewhat crude cast style characteristic of medieval Islamic provincial coinage. The figure is set within a circular beaded border. Arabic legend appears above and around the central device within the inner field. The overall design reflects the artistic conventions of the Mihrabanid dynasty of Sistan. |

| Reverse description | The reverse bears a multi-line Arabic inscription arranged in three to four horizontal lines across the central field, enclosed within a circular beaded border. The legends likely contain the ruler's name and titles, consistent with Mihrabanid fals coinage of Nasir al-Din Muhammad. The script is in a somewhat informal Naskh style, reflecting the provincial character of the issue. The overall surface shows green patination typical of cast copper coinage from this period and region. |
