| Obverse description | Hammered silver flan bearing a multi-line Arabic inscription in raised relief, arranged across three horizontal registers within the round field. The legend reads in classical Arabic script naming the honored Sultan Muhammad Imad al-Din and recording the mint city of Malé. The lettering is bold and deeply struck in the traditional Islamic calligraphic style characteristic of Maldivian coinage of this period. The field shows the rough, slightly irregular surface typical of hand-struck rupees produced at the Malé Mint. No figurative imagery is present, consistent with Islamic numismatic convention. |

| Reverse description | Hammered silver reverse displaying a multi-line Arabic inscription arranged in three horizontal registers across the field. The legend proclaims the ruler's honorific title as Sultan of the Two Lands and Khaqan of the Two Seas, followed by the Hijri regnal year 1163. The calligraphy is executed in a bold, angular style consistent with other Maldivian hammered rupees of the mid-eighteenth century. The flan edges are slightly irregular, reflecting hand-striking production methods at the Malé Mint. No decorative borders or subsidiary devices are present. |
