| Obverse description | Central field occupied by a multi-line Arabic legend in bold, raised Naskh script arranged in horizontal registers, reading the Al-Washiq bi-Allah formula associated with the reign of Qutb ud-Din Mubarak Shah. The uppermost register is surmounted by a decorative fan or leaf motif rendered in low relief, consisting of radiating pellet-tipped fronds enclosed within a double beaded inner border. The overall design is characteristic of early fourteenth-century Delhi Sultanate hammered billon coinage, with an irregular flan and slightly uneven strike. |

| Reverse description | Central field filled with a multi-line Arabic legend in bold, raised Naskh script arranged across three or four horizontal registers, recording the name and titles of the sultan and the Abbasid caliph. The inscription fills the flan edge to edge, consistent with the dense epigraphic style typical of Delhi Sultanate jitals of the Khalji period. The strike is characteristic of a hand-hammered billon piece, showing slight flatness at the periphery and a lightly irregular flan with no border ornament. |
