| Beschrijving voorzijde | Within a dotted border, a recumbent bull with an elongated snout is depicted facing left in a stylized manner characteristic of Indo-Muslim coinage of the period. A circular legend in Devanagari script surrounds the central device, reading 'Sri Kubacha Suritana', identifying the ruler Nasir-ud-Din Qubacha. The design reflects the continuation of pre-Islamic iconographic conventions adapted under the Ghurid successor states of Sindh. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | A horseman is depicted facing right in a bold, schematic style typical of early medieval Indo-Muslim billon jitals, with the rider seated upon a horse rendered in a highly stylized manner. An inscription in Devanagari script appears above the equestrian figure reading 'Sri Hamirah', a Indianized rendering of the title 'Amir', referencing the ruler's authority. The overall execution is characteristic of the debased hammered coinage produced in Sindh during the early thirteenth century. |

Nasir-ud-Din Qubacha was a slave-general of Muhammad of Ghor who seized control of Sindh and southern Punjab after his master's assassination in 1206, ruling as an effectively independent sultan while nominally acknowledging Delhi. His ambitions ended badly: pressed by Iltutmish of Delhi from the east and the Mongol advance from the northwest, Qubacha drowned in the Indus in 1228 — whether by accident or desperation remains disputed by the sources. Coinage from his quarter-century of rule is the primary material record of his administration, Sindh having left few standing monuments from this period.
