| Obverse description | Epigraphic design with a multi-line Arabic inscription filling the field in three registers. The legend reads 'Al-Sultan al-A'zam Jalal al-Dunya wa al-Din', proclaiming the sultan's honorific titles. The script is rendered in a bold, angular Naskh style typical of early Delhi Sultanate coinage. The flan is irregular and slightly uneven, characteristic of hammered billon jitals of this period. No border ornament is present. |

| Reverse description | The central field contains a square cartouche enclosing the Persian legend 'Shah Firuz', identifying the ruler by his throne name. Surrounding the central square, a circular marginal legend in Nagari script reads 'Sri Sultan Jalaludi', providing a vernacular parallel to the Arabic and Persian inscriptions. This bilingual epigraphic layout is characteristic of early Khalji dynasty jitals, reflecting the syncretic administrative coinage policy of Jalal al-Din Firuz Khalji. The flan edges are irregular and the surfaces show typical hammered texture. |
