| Obverse description | Hammered silver flan bearing a multi-line Persian legend in bold Nastaliq script occupying the entire obverse field. The inscription reads the royal title of the issuing ruler, Muhammad Ibrahim Ali Khan Bahadur, distributed across the coin in the characteristic flowing style of Indo-Persian hammered coinage. The lettering is raised in relief against an unornamented field, with no border or decorative frame. The irregular flan edge and uneven strike are typical of hand-struck princely state issues of the period. |

The upper portion bears the mint attribution 'Zarb Tonk' (struck at Tonk), while the lower portion carries the Hijri year numeral.
