| Obverse description | Irregular hammered copper flan displaying bold Arabic calligraphic inscription in the central field, struck with characteristic Mughal hammered technique resulting in an uneven, slightly raised flan edge. The legends are rendered in a cursive Naskh-style script, arranged centrally within the field with partial peripheral inscription. The coin exhibits heavy green patination consistent with extended burial or circulation. Surface details are partially obscured by corrosion, though the principal inscription elements remain discernible. |

| Reverse description | Reverse field features multi-line Arabic calligraphic inscription struck on an irregular hammered flan, displaying the characteristic bold strokes of Mughal copper coinage of the Humayun period. The legend is arranged in horizontal registers across the central field, with the script executed in a cursive Naskh style typical of mid-sixteenth century Mughal mint production. Green cuprite patination covers much of the surface, with raised lettering partially legible despite corrosion. The flan edge is irregular, consistent with the hand-cut planchet preparation standard for Mughal copper issues of this era. |
