| Obverse description | Square flan bearing a two-line Arabic legend in bold Naskh script, divided by a horizontal rule across the centre of the field. The upper register reads 'Ghiyath Shah al-Khalji' and the lower register continues 'bin Mahmud Shah', identifying the sultan by name and patronymic. The lettering is raised in relief with pronounced diacritical dots, characteristic of Malwa Sultanate hammered copper coinage. The flan edges are irregular and show typical die-struck distortion consistent with hand-hammering technique. |

| Reverse description | Square flan with a two-line Arabic legend in Naskh script, bisected by a horizontal line dividing the field into upper and lower registers. The upper register bears the title 'al-Sultan' and the lower register reads 'bin al-Sultan', asserting the ruler's dynastic legitimacy as sultan, son of a sultan. A decorative rosette or star ornament appears in the lower left field. The overall die work is bold but irregular, consistent with the hand-hammered copper fulus coinage of the Malwa Sultanate. |
