| Obverse description | Central field bearing a multi-line Arabic inscription arranged in three horizontal registers, rendered in a bold, calligraphic Thaana-influenced Arabic script characteristic of Maldivian hammered coinage of the period. The legends reference the ruling sultan's name and titles. The flan is irregular and slightly convex, with the inscription filling the available field to the edges, as is typical of hammered billon issues of the Maldives. |

| Reverse description | Central field bearing a multi-line Arabic inscription arranged in horizontal registers, incorporating the AH regnal date ١١٧٧ (AH 1177, corresponding to 1764 AD) within the legend. The calligraphic text is deeply struck in the bold style associated with Maldivian hammered coinage, with the date prominently placed among the inscribed lines. The irregular flan shows typical characteristics of hand-struck billon production, with uneven margins and a slightly worn surface. |
