| Obverse description | Irregularly shaped hammered copper flan displaying a bold geometric or floral device in the central field, rendered in low relief typical of Peshawar mint coinage of the early 19th century. The design appears to feature a stylized cross or star-like ornament with a central circular element, surrounded by indistinct peripheral legends or decorative motifs heavily worn and partially legible. The surface exhibits the characteristic roughness and uneven strike of hammered Afghan coinage of the period. |

| Reverse description | The reverse bears a multi-line Arabic inscription in the field, arranged in three horizontal registers, recording the mint name Peshawar and the regnal/Hijri date 1246. The lettering is rendered in a bold, somewhat crude naskh style consistent with provincial hammered coinage. The flan edges are irregular, and the strike is slightly off-center, with portions of the inscription cropped at the periphery. The field shows typical granular surface texture and patination associated with copper issues of the Sikh-era Peshawar mint. |
