| Obverse description | Central field dominated by the name and titles of the Mughal emperor Muhammad Shah rendered in bold Nasta'liq Arabic script, arranged in two horizontal registers separated by a ruled line. The legend occupies the majority of the flan, with additional inscription in the lower segment below a second ruled border. The design is characteristic of Mughal hammered coinage, with calligraphic text serving as the sole decorative element against a flat, unornamented field. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents the mint and regnal year inscription in Nasta'liq Arabic script, disposed across the field in two registers divided by a horizontal rule. The upper register bears the regnal year notation and the lower register records the mint name Tatta, consistent with standard Mughal rupee reverse design conventions. The flan is irregular and slightly uneven at the edges, typical of hammered production at provincial Mughal mints. |
