| Obverse description | Central field bearing multiple lines of Arabic script in a bold, fluid calligraphic style typical of late Mughal hammered coinage. The legends, arranged in horizontal registers across the flan, include the royal name and titles of Muhammad Shah. The irregular, slightly convex flan exhibits the characteristic granular surface texture of hand-struck gold pagodas, with the inscription occupying the majority of the field and bordered by a beaded or dotted marginal device. |

| Reverse description | Reverse field displaying a bold Arabic inscription in two or more registers, consistent with the Mughal regnal formula recording the emperor's name, the hijri regnal year, and mint name. The calligraphy is rendered in a pronounced, slightly raised relief characteristic of hammered gold issues from the Deccan provincial mints. The flan edges are irregular, and small pellet or dot devices may appear in the margins framing the central legend. |
