| Obverse lettering | فيروز شاه ظفر |
| Reverse description | The reverse presents a two-line Arabic legend divided by a horizontal line, a layout characteristic of Tughluq-period falus coinage. The upper field contains the word 'فيروز' (Firuz), while the lower field bears the regnal year '٧٩١' (791 AH, corresponding to 1389 CE). The script is bold and compact, consistent with the limited die space of this small denomination. The planchet edges are rough and irregular, a natural consequence of the hand-hammered production method. Surface exhibits green patination with areas of exposed reddish-brown copper substrate. |
