Obverse description Obverse field entirely occupied by a multi-line Arabic legend in bold Naskh script, reading the royal title of Sultan Nasir ud-Din Khusrau Shah. The inscription, translating as 'Al-Sultan al-A'zam Nasir al-Dunya wa'l-Din,' fills the die area without a surrounding border, characteristic of the hammered billon jitals of the Delhi Sultanate. The lettering is struck in high relief against a flat field, with slight flan irregularities consistent with the hand-struck production method. The coin was issued during Khusrau Shah's brief reign of approximately four months in AH 720 (AD 1320).

Reverse description Reverse field bearing a central Arabic legend in Naskh script enclosed within a partial circular border, with a marginal inscription running around the periphery of the flan. The central area appears to contain the ruler's name and titles, while the outer legend carries additional royal epithets or the mint and date formula. The die is boldly struck with high-relief lettering typical of Delhi Sultanate hammered coinage, and the irregular flan edge shows characteristic clipping from manual manufacture.
