| Obverse description | Debased and largely illegible Persian legend arranged in multiple horizontal lines across the field, reflecting the degraded calligraphic style typical of late Kutch hammered coinage. A dagger symbol appears at the lower right of the field. The overall design is characteristic of the Mughal-derived epigraphic tradition as adapted by the princely mints of Kutch, with the inscription occupying virtually the entire flan. |

| Reverse description | Central field dominated by a prominent trident symbol flanked by a debased Urdu legend referencing Shah Sultan Ahmed. Below the trident, the ruler's name and title appear in Devanagari script, reading 'Rau Shree Bharmalji'. The design is typical of Kutch kori coinage of this period, combining Islamic and Hindu iconographic elements within a compact hammered flan. |
