| Obverse description | The entire field is occupied by a multi-line Arabic calligraphic legend arranged in three horizontal registers, separated by raised linear bands, and enclosed within a toothed or grained border. The central band bears the epithet 'Nur al-Din' in prominent Naskh script. The upper register contains the royal title 'Shah Hasan Iskandar' and the lower register reads 'Ibn al-Marhum' (Son of the Forgiven), collectively identifying the reigning Sultan Hassan Nooraddeen I. Decorative dot groupings and lozenge ornaments are interspersed between the letter forms to fill the field. |

| Reverse description | The reverse field is entirely filled with a three-register Arabic calligraphic legend in Naskh script, arranged horizontally and separated by raised linear dividing bands within a toothed border. The upper register bears the honorific 'Shah Ghazi Hasan Izz al-Din,' while the central band incorporates the Hijri date numeral 1257 (an error date requiring confirmation; the standard date being 1207). The lower register records the mint formula 'Struck in…' with the mint name partially illegible. Lozenge and dot ornaments punctuate the inscriptions throughout the field. |
