| Obverse description | Irregularly shaped hammered copper flan bearing a central Arabic legend arranged within a plain oval cartouche. The name of the sultan, Muhammad bin Tughluq, is inscribed in bold Naskh script across the field, divided by a horizontal line into two registers. Decorative pellets fill the spaces around the cartouche in the outer field. The overall execution is characteristic of the crude, hand-struck coinage of the Delhi Sultanate period. |

| Reverse description | Irregularly shaped hammered copper flan with a central Arabic legend arranged in two curved lines within a plain oval or lozenge-shaped cartouche. The inscription, rendered in Naskh script, occupies the majority of the field and is typical of the formulaic reverses employed on Tughluqid subsidiary coinage. The flan edges are uneven and ragged, consistent with the hammered production technique of Delhi Sultanate copper issues. |
