| Obverse description | Crude hammered copper flan bearing bold Arabic script legends distributed across the field in multiple lines. The inscription is struck in high relief against a rough, uneven surface typical of Indian princely state hammered coinage. The characters, though worn and partially indistinct due to corrosion, follow the conventions of Mughal-influenced epigraphic design. The rim is irregular and unfinished, consistent with the hand-struck production technique of the period. |

| Reverse description | Reverse displays bold Arabic script arranged in horizontal registers across the field, divided by a prominent horizontal line characteristic of Mughal-derived coinage conventions. A small square pellet device is visible to the right of the central legend. The field is otherwise plain, with the legend struck in strong relief on the rough copper flan. The rim shows traces of a partial border, with the overall presentation consistent with the hammered paisa coinage of the Janjira princely state. |
