| Obverse description | Central field bears the royal legend in Arabic script reading 'Sultan Muhammad Adil Shah Khaldullahu Mulkahu Sultanahu Ala amrahu' (May God perpetuate his kingdom and exalt his rule), arranged in multiple registers. A secondary legend in Nagari script appears in the lower portion of the field, a distinctive feature of Suri dynasty coinage reflecting the bilingual administrative tradition. The inscription is struck in the characteristic bold calligraphic style of Sur Empire hammered rupees, with the text filling the broad, irregularly shaped flan. |

| Reverse description | Central square cartouche encloses the Kalima-i-Shahada in Arabic script: 'La ilaha ill-Allah Muhammadur Rasulullah' (There is no god but Allah, Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah). Around the four corners of the square, the names of the first four Rightly Guided Caliphs of Islam are inscribed — Abu Bakr, Umar, Uthman, and Ali — a hallmark feature of Sur dynasty rupee coinage. The overall layout follows the established Suri metrology with the square-within-circle design convention. |
