| Obverse description | Close imitation of a coin of Muzaffar Shah III, featuring a debased Arabic legend occupying the central field and surrounding areas, with a dagger depicted at the bottom right. The inscription, rendered in a degraded calligraphic style, reads in Arabic: 'Ar-reman betaid al-muwid shams ad-duniya waud-din abu-Al-nasir', translating as 'Son of the world and defender of the Religion by the help and strength of the Merciful'. The overall design reflects the characteristic crude workmanship of locally produced imitative hammered coinage. |

| Reverse description | Central field features a trident, a symbol associated with the ruling Jadeja Rajput dynasty of Kutch. Surrounding the trident is a debased Arabic legend reading 'As-sultan Muzaffar Shah' accompanied by the AH date 978, the inscription being a degraded imitation of Gujarati Sultanate coinage. Below the trident, the name of the issuing Rao is inscribed in Devanagari script, identifying the ruler as Rao Shree Gohadhji (Gohadaji II). The combination of Arabic and Devanagari inscriptions is characteristic of the syncretistic coinage traditions of the Kutch princely state during this period. |
