| Obverse description | Arabic legend occupying the entire field, featuring the name 'Zaman' in bold Naskh script with the regnal date inscribed to the right. The legend is rendered in raised relief on a plain, unadorned field. Dot embellishments are scattered throughout the field as decorative elements. The flan is irregular and slightly uneven, characteristic of hammered copper coinage of the Durrani dynasty. |

| Reverse description | Arabic religious or dynastic inscription occupying the full field, executed in bold Naskh script with fluid, interlocking letterforms in raised relief. The text is arranged in a single composition filling the irregular flan, with scattered pellet ornaments visible in the field. The surfaces show the characteristic roughness and irregularity of hand-struck Durrani copper coinage. No border or additional decorative frame is present. |
