| Obverse description | Central field features the iconic Charminar gateway of Hyderabad rendered in relief, with the Urdu initial 'Mim' (م), representing 'Mahbub', inscribed within the central archway. A dense calligraphic legend in Naskh-style Urdu script surrounds the central motif, bearing the royal titles 'Asaf Jah' at top, 'Bahadur' to the left, and 'Nizam Al-Mulk' to the right. The date in the AH calendar (1320) appears in the lower portion of the legend. The entire design is enclosed within a beaded border framed by an ornate Greek-key (meander) decorative band at the rim. |

The outer border mirrors the obverse with an ornate Greek-key meander band and beaded rim, lending the piece a highly decorative and unified aesthetic consistent with a pattern striking. |
