| Obverse description | Hammered copper flan of irregular round form bearing a three-line Arabic legend in raised Naskh script occupying the entire field, reading 'al-Sultan / Nasir al-Dunya wa al-Din / Mahmud Shah'. The lettering is bold and deeply struck, with characteristic calligraphic flourishes typical of Gujarati sultanate coinage. The coin exhibits a pronounced green patina consistent with long-term copper oxidation, and the flan shows typical hand-struck irregularities at the periphery. |

| Reverse description | Hammered reverse field entirely occupied by a three-line Arabic legend in raised Naskh script, reading 'Abu al-Fath / Mahmud Shah / al-Sultan', arranged horizontally across the flan. The inscription is rendered in a bold, somewhat angular style characteristic of late Gujarati sultanate copper issues. The coin displays an uneven green and brown patina, with slight weakness at the margins due to the irregular flan and hand-hammered striking technique. |
