| Obverse description | Central field bearing a multi-line Arabic inscription in Naskh script, reading the name and title of the sultan Muhammad bin Tughluq, struck on a small irregular flan typical of hammered copper coinage of the Delhi Sultanate. The lettering is somewhat roughly executed, consistent with the low-denomination struck coinage of the period. The field is flat with no border or decorative elements, and the legends fill the entire face of the coin. |

The legend is arranged in horizontal registers across the flan, with the pious phrase referencing divine sufficiency. The strike is characteristic of the hammered technique common to Delhi Sultanate copper fractions, with slightly uneven distribution across the irregular flan. |
