| Obverse description | Square hammered copper flan bearing a multi-line Arabic inscription in bold relief, divided by a horizontal line into two registers. The upper register contains the royal titles and name of Sultan Ghiyath Shah Khalji, ruler of Malwa (r. 1468-1500), rendered in the Naskh script. The lower register continues the legend with additional honorific or denominational inscriptions. The legends are bold but somewhat worn, consistent with heavy circulation. |

| Reverse description | Square hammered flan with a multi-line Arabic legend in bold relief, divided by a horizontal rule into two registers. A prominent rosette or honeycomb ornament appears in the lower left of the field, serving as a decorative mint or denomination device characteristic of Malwa Sultanate copper coinage. The surrounding Arabic inscription in Naskh script occupies the remaining field, with additional text in the lower register. The strike is irregular, typical of hand-hammered provincial issues of the period. |
