| Obverse description | Central square panel containing a multi-line Arabic religious inscription in bold, raised Naskh script, occupying the majority of the flan. The square is framed by a plain linear border, beyond which a circular marginal legend in Arabic script runs along the inner rim. The overall design is typical of early Delhi Sultanate coinage, with no figural imagery, the field dominated entirely by calligraphic text. The coin exhibits characteristic irregular flan shape and uneven strike consistent with hammered production. |

| Reverse description | Central square panel bearing a multi-line Arabic inscription in raised Naskh script recording the name and titles of the issuing sultan, Rukn al-Din Firuz, within a framed square border. A circular marginal legend in Arabic script encircles the square panel along the periphery of the flan. The reverse follows the same anionic, text-only design convention as the obverse, characteristic of early Sultanate silver coinage. The strike is bold though uneven, with some weakness at the edges due to the hammered technique. |
