| Obverse description | The obverse presents bold Arabic calligraphic inscriptions in the Naskh script, struck in high relief across the irregular flan. The field is divided by horizontal bands bearing the royal name and epithet of Sulaiman Shah, rendered in large, sweeping strokes characteristic of Durrani-era hammered coinage. The legend reads across multiple registers, with decorative pellet borders framing the inscriptions. The surface shows the typical irregular hammered strike of eighteenth-century Kashmir mint production, with portions of the legend occasionally running off the flan edge. |

| Reverse description | The reverse displays the mint and regnal year inscriptions in bold Arabic Naskh calligraphy, arranged in multiple horizontal registers across the flan. The legends identify the issuing authority, the mint city of Kashmir (ضرب کشمیر), and the Hijri date 1186 (corresponding to 1772 CE). The deeply struck lettering is characteristic of the hammered technique employed at the Kashmir mint under Durrani administration, with pellet ornaments punctuating the field. The coin's irregular planchet, typical of this series, results in partial legend truncation at the periphery. |
