| Obverse description | The annular field surrounding the central circular perforation is filled with a continuous Arabic legend in flowing Jawi calligraphic script, arranged in curvilinear fashion across the entire face. The inscription, reading 'Permanent be the prosperity of the currency of the Kelantan State,' is rendered in raised relief against a flat field. A beaded border encircles the outer rim, framing the calligraphic composition. The design is characteristic of Malay tin pitis coinage, with the script flowing organically to fill the available annular space. |

| Reverse description | The reverse displays an Arabic Jawi inscription in raised curvilinear calligraphic script distributed across the annular field surrounding the central circular perforation. The legend records the date of issue, referencing the Islamic month of Jumada al-Awwal in the Hijri year 1314. The script flows continuously around the central hole, filling the field in a manner consistent with Malay cast tin coinage of the late nineteenth century. A beaded border defines the outer edge of the coin, and the overall composition reflects the traditional aesthetic of Kelantan pitis issues. |
