| Obverse description | The field is occupied entirely by multiple lines of bold Arabic-script legends in the Naskh style, struck on an irregular flan typical of hand-hammered Durrani coinage. The inscriptions record the name and titles of Taimur Shah, ruler of the Durrani Empire, along with the Hijri regnal year. The die-work is bold and deeply impressed, with characteristic flan cracking and surface irregularity consistent with hammered silver production at the Derajat mint. |

| Reverse description | The reverse displays multiple horizontal registers of Arabic-script legend in a fluid Naskh hand, filling the entire field of the irregular flan. A decorative dotted border encircles the inscriptions, clearly visible on this side, framing the legends. The text records the mint name (Derajat) and the Hijri date of issue, following the established Durrani coinage convention. The strike is bold with typical hammered-coinage surface texture and flan irregularities. |
