| Obverse description | Central field bearing a multi-line Persian legend in Arabic script reading 'al-mu'tasim bi-ha'il allah al-mannan sammi khalil al-rahman abu'l muzaffar', translating as 'The protector relying on the strength of God, the Munificent, known as the Friend of the Merciful One, Abu'l Muzaffar.' The inscription is rendered in a bold Naskh-style hand characteristic of Bahmani Sultanate coinage of the mid-fifteenth century. The irregular flan is typical of the hammered production technique employed at Bahmani mints of this period. |

| Reverse description | Central field bearing a multi-line Persian legend in Arabic script reading 'ala al-dunya wa'l-din ahmad shah bin ahmad shah al-sultan', translating as 'The exalted of the world and the faith, Ahmad Shah, son of Ahmad Shah, the Sultan.' The royal titulature follows the conventional Bahmani formula of dynastic attribution and sovereignty. The inscription occupies the full field in stacked horizontal lines, consistent with the standard reverse layout of Bahmani copper gani coinage. |
