| Obverse description | Irregularly shaped hammered copper flan displaying Arabic calligraphic inscription in the central field, with the ruler's name or titles rendered in Naskh script. The legend is arranged in two or more lines across the field, with partial decorative border elements visible along the rim. The coin shows heavy green patination consistent with prolonged burial or age, and surface wear typical of circulated hammered issues of the Gujarat Sultanate. |

| Reverse description | Reverse field bears a multi-line Arabic inscription contained within a rectangular cartouche or linear border, characteristic of Gujarat Sultanate copper coinage of the mid-sixteenth century. The legend, likely recording the mint name, regnal year, or Hijri date, is struck in Naskh script and shows moderate to heavy wear. The flan edges are irregular and slightly uneven, typical of hand-struck hammered issues of this period. Green cuprite patination covers much of the surface. |
