| Obverse description | Central field occupied by a bold multi-line Arabic inscription in kufic-influenced script, naming the ruler 'Adud al-Dawla Abu'l-Muzaffar, arranged across the flan in several registers. The lettering is raised in high relief against a flat, granular field, characteristic of the hammered coinage of the Later Saffarid dynasty. The irregular flan edge is typical of provincial copper jitals of this period, with traces of a marginal legend partially visible around the periphery. |

| Reverse description | Central field bears a multi-line Arabic religious or titulary inscription arranged in horizontal registers, with bold raised lettering in a cursive Arabic script. A partial decorative border, consisting of a dotted or beaded inner ring, frames the central legend and is visible along the left margin. The flan is irregular and slightly cracked at the edge, consistent with hand-struck copper coinage of the Later Saffarid period in Sijistan. The field surface shows characteristic granular texture and areas of patination. |
