| Obverse description | Central field bearing bold Arabic script characters arranged vertically, rendered in low relief on a flat, unadorned flan typical of cast Malay tin coinage. The legends are crudely but intentionally struck, occupying the majority of the coin's face. The irregular flan edge and porous surface texture are characteristic of the casting technique employed for Malay pitis issues. |

| Reverse description | Central field displaying Arabic script legend in low relief, arranged within a simple linear border or cartouche visible as a curved incuse band encircling the inscription. The design is characteristic of cast Malay tin pitis coinage, with the porous, granular surface typical of the medium. The legends, though worn and partially legible, follow the conventional formulaic religious or dynastic inscriptions found on Malay peninsula pitis issues. |
