| Obverse description | Hammered copper flan of irregular shape displaying a two-line Arabic legend within a rectangular frame. The upper register contains the ruler's name and titles in raised Naskh script, with additional inscriptional elements filling the lower register. The field shows characteristic rough surface texture and patination consistent with medieval Indian hammered coinage. The legends are boldly struck despite the irregular planchet. |

| Reverse description | Irregular hammered flan bearing a two-line Arabic inscription divided by a horizontal line, presented within a partial border. The legend occupies both registers in raised Naskh script, referencing the sovereign's titles and reign. The surface exhibits typical green-brown patination and die-shift characteristic of Malwa Sultanate copper coinage of the early sixteenth century. The strike is bold though eccentric on the irregular planchet. |
