| Obverse description | Crude hammered flan with Nagari legend arranged in the field. The inscription reads 'Sri Hamira' in Devanagari script, distributed across the coin's surface in the characteristic style of early Delhi Sultanate billon jitals. The lettering is boldly struck but irregular in placement, consistent with hand-struck coinage of the period. The field shows no figurative motifs, relying entirely on the epigraphic design typical of Sultanate subsidiary coinage. A dotted border is partially visible along the coin's periphery. |

| Obverse lettering | श्री हमीर (Translation: Sri Hamira) |
| Reverse description | Hammered flan bearing a multi-line Arabic inscription filling the field, identifying the issuing sovereign. The legend reads 'Jalalat al-Din Radiyya', the regnal title and name of Sultana Raziya, the first female ruler of the Delhi Sultanate, struck during her reign of 1236–1240. The Arabic script is rendered in a simplified, somewhat crude style characteristic of billon jitals of this period. The inscription is distributed across two to three horizontal lines within the field. A partial dotted border frames the periphery of the irregularly shaped flan. |
