Beschrijving voorzijde Highly stylized bull (Nandi) depicted in schematic form occupying the central field, rendered in the debased Nagari artistic tradition inherited from earlier Rajput coinage. The bull's body is reduced to bold geometric and curvilinear elements, with a prominent hump suggested by raised relief lines. Surrounding the central device is a fragmentary Nagari legend arranged along the periphery of the flan, partially off-flan due to the oval hammered fabric. The overall design reflects the transitional Indo-Muslim coinage style of the early Delhi Sultanate, retaining Hindu iconographic motifs alongside Arabic epigraphic elements.

Beschrijving keerzijde Highly stylized horseman (cavalry rider) depicted in schematic, almost abstract form at the center of the field, a motif carried over from the Ghorid and early Sultanate coinage tradition. The rider and mount are rendered in bold, deeply struck curvilinear relief lines, with the horse's legs and the rider's posture reduced to geometric conventions. An Arabic legend surrounds the central device along the periphery, naming the sultan Shams al-Din Iltutmish, though portions of the inscription are weak or off-flan due to the irregular hammered oval flan. The design exemplifies the bilingual and bicultural character of early Delhi Sultanate jitals, combining pre-Islamic imagery with Islamic epigraphy.
