| Obverse description | Hammered copper flan bearing a multi-line Arabic inscription in the field, reading 'nasir al-dunya wa'l-din' (Helper of the World and the Faith), the royal epithet of the ruling sultan. The legend is rendered in a somewhat crude but bold Naskh script typical of provincial Indian sultanate coinage. The irregular flan edge and uneven strike are characteristic of hand-hammered production. The field shows natural flan porosity and patination consistent with circulation wear. |

| Reverse description | Hammered copper flan bearing a multi-line Arabic inscription occupying the central field, reading 'abu al-fath nasir shah al-sultan' (Father of Conquest, the Victorious King, the Sultan), asserting the full royal titulature of the issuing ruler. The legend is arranged in horizontal registers in a provincial Naskh hand, consistent with Khandesh Sultanate coinage conventions. The strike is bold but off-center in places, with the flan exhibiting irregular margins and surface patination indicative of prolonged circulation. |
