| Obverse description | Hammered copper flan bearing a bold Arabic legend in two lines within the field, struck in the characteristic angular Tughra-influenced script typical of Gujarat Sultanate coinage. The inscription reads the honorific titles of Sultan Muzaffar Shah II, occupying the majority of the obverse field. The lettering is deeply struck in relief against a plain, irregular field, with no border or decorative framing elements. The flan shows typical irregular edges and uneven surfaces consistent with hand-struck medieval Indian coinage. Reddish-brown patina covers the surface, indicative of long-term copper oxidation. |

| Reverse description | Hammered copper flan displaying a bold multi-line Arabic inscription in the field, reading the sultan's name and regnal title upward, with the AH mint year 919 inscribed in Arabic-Indic numerals at the base. The legends are rendered in a cursive Naskh-influenced hand typical of late medieval Gujarat Sultanate issues, filling the entire reverse field without a surrounding border. The strike is bold though slightly irregular, consistent with hand-hammered production methods of the period. The surfaces display the same reddish-brown copper patina as the obverse, with minor die-shift visible at the edges. No mintmark or additional ornamental device is present. |
