| Obverse description | Central field occupied by a multi-line Arabic legend arranged in horizontal registers, bearing the mint name Dar al-Zarb within a defined inner border. The inscription is struck in bold relief characteristic of Bengal Sultanate hammered coinage, with the mint designation partially legible and the regnal date unclear due to die wear and the irregular flan. A dotted or linear circular border frames the entire legend field. |

| Reverse description | Central field divided into multiple horizontal registers of Arabic script in bold hammered relief, carrying the sultan's titles and religious formulae typical of Bengal Sultanate tanka coinage. The legend reads the ruler's name and epithet Nasir al-Din Nusrat Shah along with the kalima or royal titles, arranged across the flan. The irregular planchet causes partial clipping of the outermost legend at the periphery, and a linear border encircles the inscribed field. |
