| Obverse script | Arabic |
| Obverse lettering | السلطان العادل جلال الدنيا والدين أبو المظفر محمد شاه السلطان |
| Reverse description | The reverse field is fully occupied by multiple lines of Arabic inscription in a bold, angular calligraphic style consistent with Bengal Sultanate hammered coinage. The legend reads 'Nasir Amir al-Muminin Ghawth al-Islam wal-Muslimin,' invoking the Caliph as Commander of the Faithful and acknowledging the Sultan's legitimizing connection to the Abbasid Caliphate. The flan edges are irregular, as is characteristic of hand-struck issues of this period and region. |
