| Obverse description | Horseman advancing to right occupying the central field, rendered in a stylized Indo-Muslim manner characteristic of Sindh jitals of the period. The Nagari legend 'Sri Hamirah' (a transliteration of 'Amir') appears above the equestrian figure. The flan is irregularly struck, with the design elements showing typical wear and flatness associated with hammered billon coinage of the region. |

| Reverse description | A humped bull (Nandi) standing to the left in the central field, depicted in the schematic style common to Sindh jitals. The surrounding Nagari legend reads 'Sri Hasan Karlak', a reference to the issuing ruler Sayf al-Din Qarlugh. The coin exhibits the characteristically irregular flan and crude strike typical of hammered billon jitals produced in the Sindh region during the mid-thirteenth century. |
