| Obverse description | The obverse displays a three-line Arabic legend in bold Naskh script filling the central field, reading the regnal titles and name of the Nizam. The text is arranged in horizontal registers across the flan, with the uppermost line arching gently toward the rim. A Hijri date numeral appears in the lower portion of the field. The overall design is purely epigraphic, with no figurative elements, consistent with Islamic numismatic convention as practiced at the Hyderabad mint. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a three-line Arabic epigraphic design in bold Naskh script, similarly occupying the full field without border ornament. The central horizontal register bears the mint formula referencing the Farkhanda Bunyad (Auspicious Foundation) mint at Hyderabad. The upper line carries a portion of the accession formula, and the lower register displays the Hijri regnal year of issue. A single horizontal rule divides the lower register from the main legend, a characteristic feature of Hyderabad Nizam coinage of this period. |
