| Obverse description | Irregular square flan bearing multiple lines of Arabic script in the naskh style, struck on a roughly prepared copper flan with uneven surfaces. The legends are arranged in horizontal registers across the field, with individual letter forms showing the characteristic bold strokes typical of Malwa Sultanate coinage. The strike is moderately clear at center with some weakness toward the edges, consistent with hand-hammered production. The overall design follows the epigraphic tradition of Sultanate-period coinage, with no figural imagery. |

| Reverse description | Irregular square flan displaying multiple lines of Arabic script in naskh style, incorporating the mint mark for Chanderi and the regnal year. The inscription is arranged in horizontal registers across the field, with the date and mint identifier occupying the lower portion of the die area. The lettering is bold and characteristic of Ghiyath Shah's coinage, with the surface showing the typical patination and roughness of a hand-struck copper issue. Some peripheral weakness is evident due to the irregular flan shape and hammered striking technique. |
