| Obverse description | Irregular hammered copper flan bearing a multi-line Arabic legend disposed across the field in three or four horizontal registers. The script, rendered in a bold and somewhat cursive style characteristic of late Gujarat Sultanate copper coinage, occupies virtually the entire face of the coin. The legends are deeply struck but partially worn and encrusted, with the raised lettering showing brown and olive patination. No border ornament or decorative frame is present; the design is purely epigraphic in character. |

| Reverse description | Reverse of this hammered copper falus displaying a multi-line Arabic inscription arranged in horizontal registers across the field, consistent with standard Gujarat Sultanate epigraphic coinage practice. The lettering is bold and deeply struck into the irregular flan, with individual characters showing characteristic late-medieval Indian Islamic calligraphic style. The surface retains areas of green and brown patination, and the irregular flan edge is visible around the periphery. No additional decorative elements, borders, or symbols are present. |
