| Obverse description | Typical Mughal-style rupee obverse struck in the name of Emperor Aurangzeb Alamgir, featuring a central horizontal line dividing the field into two registers. The upper register displays the royal kalima or regnal formula in bold Nasta'liq Arabic script, while the lower register carries the mint name and regnal year. Star and crescent ornaments are scattered throughout the field as decorative elements, characteristic of Sawantwadi issues struck in imitation of Mughal coinage. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents the complementary half of the Mughal-style rupee formula, divided by a central horizontal line into two registers, both bearing bold Nasta'liq Arabic legends. The upper register records the mint name associated with Sawantwadi (Peerkhani), while the lower register carries the hijri regnal year. Multiple six-pointed star and crescent ornaments punctuate the field, a diagnostic feature of this Sawantwadi Peerkhani series, lending the flan a lively, decorative appearance characteristic of late Maratha imitative coinage. |
