| Obverse description | Hammered copper flan bearing the royal name of the sultan inscribed in bold Arabic script across the field. The legend reading 'Muzaffar Shah' is rendered in a characteristic Gujarat Sultanate calligraphic style, with raised lettering distributed across two or three horizontal registers. The irregular flan exhibits typical hand-struck characteristics of medieval Indian Islamic coinage, with the inscription filling the available field without a formal border. |

| Reverse description | Hammered reverse field bearing a multi-line Arabic inscription arranged in horizontal registers across the flan, recording the full royal titulature and regnal lineage of the sultan. The legend identifies the ruler as 'Al-Sultan Muzaffar Shah ibn Mahmud Shah' accompanied by the AH date in the series 92x (corresponding to AH 923–932). The bold, deeply struck Arabic lettering is characteristic of the Gujarat Sultanate mint style, with no formal border or decorative frame enclosing the inscription. |
