| Obverse description | Central field features bold Arabic script inscriptions arranged within a rectangular cartouche formed by ruled lines, a characteristic stylistic device of the Raja Shahi coinage of Datia. The AH regnal date appears within the inscription field, rendered in large, somewhat crude calligraphic characters typical of provincial Indian hammered silver coinage. Pellets are visible in the margins flanking the central cartouche. The flan is slightly irregular, consistent with hand-struck production. |

| Reverse description | The reverse displays Arabic script inscriptions filling the central field, with the regnal year (RY#6) prominently incorporated into the legend. The lettering is bold and stylised in the manner of Mughal-derived provincial coinage, set within a partially delineated rectangular border formed by incuse lines. Pellets appear in the surrounding field. The strike is characteristic of the hammered technique employed at the Datia princely mint, with some weakness at the flan edges. |
