| Obverse description | Central device depicting a balance scale (scales of justice) with three pellets arranged at the center pivot point, symbolizing equity and just rule. The scale's pans are suspended from a horizontal beam, rendered in a stylized manner characteristic of early 19th-century Southeast Asian Islamic coinage. The Arabic word 'Adil' (meaning 'Just') appears in the field, serving as both a motto and an expression of the sultan's governing principles. The design is set within a plain circular border on a textured field. |

| Reverse description | The reverse bears a multi-line Arabic inscription in retrograde, filling the field within a plain circular border. The legend, rendered in a bold and slightly archaic calligraphic style typical of Malay sultanate coinage, identifies the issuing authority and the year of minting in the Islamic Hijri calendar. The inscription occupies the full coin face, with the individual lines of text stacked horizontally across the field. |
