| Obverse description | Hammered silver flan bearing a central multi-line Arabic legend in bold calligraphic script reading 'Al-Sultan al-A'zam / Mahmud Shah,' with the AH date inscribed within the field. The inscription is executed in a vigorous, cursive Naskh style characteristic of Durrani imperial coinage. A beaded inner border encircles the legend, while the irregular flan edge gives the coin its characteristic hand-struck appearance. Scattered floral or pellet ornaments punctuate the field between the legend lines. |

| Reverse description | The reverse displays a three-line Arabic mint and regnal-year legend in flowing cursive script, reading 'Zarb Kashmir' (struck at Kashmir) with the regnal year rendered below in bold strokes. The inscription fills the flan in the characteristic Durrani hammered style, with pellet or rosette ornaments decorating the interstices of the legend lines. A beaded border frames the composition, and the irregular flan edges reflect the hand-struck production technique typical of the Kashmir mint during this period. |
