| Obverse description | A horse passant to the right occupies the central field, rendered in a stylized manner characteristic of Indo-Muslim coinage of the period. Surrounding the central device is a circular Arabic legend filling the periphery of the flan. The die work is bold but irregular, consistent with hammered billon coinage of the Qarlughid rulers of Sistan in the mid-13th century. |

| Reverse description | The reverse bears a multi-line Nagari (Devanagari) inscription arranged across the field in three registers, reading Sri MaHa Mad Kar Rluk, a phonetic rendering in Nagari script of the ruler's name and title. The bold, deeply struck characters fill the flan nearly to the edge, with additional Nagari characters visible in the outer border. This bilingual coinage reflects the Qarlughid practice of combining Islamic and Indic epigraphic traditions to serve a mixed population. |
