| Obverse description | Crudely struck copper flan displaying stylized Arabic calligraphy in the central field, typical of the hammered coinage tradition of the Bahawalpur princely state. The inscription is rendered in bold, deeply cut strokes against an uneven, irregular field. The design shows characteristic irregularities in both shape and strike consistent with hand-hammered production. The legends are arranged within a rough circular boundary. The overall style reflects the artisanal local mint production of the period. |

| Reverse description | Reverse field bears a schematically rendered design with bold, crude calligraphic or symbolic elements deeply struck into the copper flan. A crescent-like form and additional inscription elements are visible in the central field, characteristic of the local Bahawalpur hammered coinage. The strike is irregular and the flan edges are uneven, consistent with hand-struck provincial production. The design is enclosed within a roughly circular border. The overall execution reflects the utilitarian nature of this small-denomination circulation coinage. |
