| Obverse description | Broadly struck hammered copper flan displaying a bold Arabic legend in relief at centre, comprising the regnal name of Emperor Aurangzeb Alamgir rendered in cursive Naskh script. The field is unadorned, and the flan exhibits characteristic irregular margins typical of hand-struck Mughal copper coinage. The surfaces show an olive-brown patina with dark corrosion deposits consistent with prolonged circulation. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a multi-line Arabic legend struck in relief across the field, recording the mint name Bijapur and likely a partial regnal or accession formula, though significant die wear and surface corrosion render portions of the inscription partially legible. The flan is thick and convex, characteristic of the heavy copper paisa denomination struck at provincial Mughal mints. The field is flat and undecorated, with no border or inner circle visible. |
