| Obverse description | The obverse field bears the name and titles of Sultan Muhammad Imaaduddeen Iskander rendered in bold, flowing Arabic calligraphy arranged in three horizontal lines across the flan. The inscription fills the entire field and is executed in a confident Naskh-influenced hand characteristic of Maldivian coinage of the period. The rim is dressed with a series of fine radiating denticles forming a toothed border around the circumference. There is no central device or decorative motif; the composition relies entirely on the calligraphic text as its primary design element. |

| Reverse description | The reverse field displays the sultan's royal title and the Hijri regnal year in Arabic calligraphy arranged across three lines, identifying him as Sultan of Land and Sea and recording the date AH 1319. The inscription is bold and deeply incised in a flowing Naskh script consistent with the obverse treatment, filling the flan in a compact and authoritative layout. Several decorative dot groups are visible in the left field flanking the legend, serving as ornamental fillers. The rim is encircled by a uniform denticulated border matching that of the obverse. No pictorial devices or additional ornaments appear beyond the calligraphic text and dot fillers. |
