| Obverse description | Crudely struck hammered field bearing a bold Arabic inscription occupying the central area of the flan. The calligraphic legend is rendered in a cursive Naskh-influenced style typical of feudatory issues of the Hyderabad region, with heavily worn details consistent with prolonged circulation. The irregular planchet exhibits characteristic convexity on this face, and the field is unadorned beyond the central legend. |

| Reverse description | The reverse displays a primitive but recognisable figure of a lion passant or walking quadruped in profile facing right, rendered in low relief against a plain, unadorned field. The animal's form is boldly outlined with minimal internal detail, consistent with the crude hammered technique common to Hyderabad feudatory copper coinage. The irregular flan edges and heavily granular surface reflect extensive wear and the rudimentary striking method employed at local mints during this period. |
