| Obverse description | Hammered silver flan bearing a three-line Persian couplet in bold Nasta'liq script, divided by two horizontal ruled lines that run across the coin's field. The upper register carries the opening hemistich of the royal legend, the central band presents the emperor's name and titles, and the lower register bears the AH regnal date. The calligraphy is deeply struck, with characteristic Mughal floral flourishes visible at the extremities of several letter forms. The flan is irregularly shaped and shows typical surface granularity associated with hand-struck Mughal coinage. |

| Reverse description | Hammered silver reverse displaying a three-line Persian inscription in Nasta'liq script, separated by two horizontal ruled lines. The upper register contains the opening words of the mint formula, the central band bears the regnal year (RY) numeral accompanied by a small floral or rosette ornament in the left field, and the lower register carries the mint name Arkat (ضرب ارکات). The floral device, rendered as a stylised bloom with dotted surround, is a characteristic mint mark of the Arkat issue. The strike is typical of hammered Mughal production, with slight weakness at the periphery. |
