| Obverse description | Arabic legend reading 'Bahiri' occupies the central field in bold, somewhat crude script characteristic of feudatory state coinage. Below the primary legend, the Hijri date 1262 is inscribed. The overall design is contained within a roughly circular flan typical of hand-struck copper issues of the period, with the inscription filling most of the available field. |

| Reverse description | Within a plain line circle, an anchor-shaped device is depicted above a stylised anvil, both rendered in low relief consistent with the hammered technique of this feudatory issue. The design occupies the central field, with the motifs crudely but distinctly struck. The surrounding field is largely plain, with the flan showing characteristic irregularities of hand-struck copper coinage. |
