| Obverse description | Central field dominated by bold Persian calligraphic legend arranged in two horizontal registers divided by a raised linear border, with the royal titles of Emperor Muhammad Shah rendered in flowing Nasta'liq script. The name and epithet of the emperor — Muhammad Shah Badshah Ghazi — occupy the main field, with the regnal year (julus) notation appearing in the upper and lower margins. Decorative pellet or rosette ornaments flank the central inscription. The flan is slightly irregular and broad, typical of hammered Mughal silver coinage, with the legend partially weak toward the periphery. |

| Reverse description | Central field bearing a multi-line Persian Nasta'liq inscription recording the auspicious accession formula and the mint name Sironj, arranged in flowing curved lines across the flan. The phrase 'Mimanat al-Ma'nus' (the auspicious companion) appears prominently, followed by the word 'julus' (accession/regnal year) and 'zarb Sironj' (struck at Sironj) in the lower register. A curved linear border separates the central legend from the marginal text. The flan shows characteristic irregular edges and surface texture consistent with hand-hammered Mughal minting practice. |
