| Obverse description | Hammered gold flan bearing a three-line Persian nastaliq inscription in the central field, reading 'Shah Alam II / Badshah Ghazi / Sikka Mubarak,' invoking the Mughal emperor's name as a mark of nominal imperial authority. The lettering is boldly struck in a characteristic Maratha hammered style, with the legends arranged horizontally across the coin's face. The field surface displays the irregular, slightly convex form typical of hand-struck mohurs produced at the Poona mint. The inscription style reflects the Maratha practice of issuing coinage in the name of the reigning Mughal emperor while maintaining autonomous political control. |

| Reverse description | Hammered gold reverse bearing Persian nastaliq inscriptions typical of Maratha-issued mohurs struck at Poona, including regnal year (regal year) notations and Fasli Era dating references. The legends are arranged in multiple lines across the field, with mint name and date indicators consistent with issues of this series. The irregular flan edge and slightly uneven strike are characteristic of the hand-hammered technique employed at the Poona mint during this period. |
