| Obverse description | Central field features a circular inscription in Arabic script, enclosed within a beaded or linear inner circle and surrounded by a ring of twelve evenly spaced stars. The Solar Hijri (Shamsi) date appears beneath and to the right of the central inscription, rendered in Eastern Arabic numerals. The overall composition is characteristic of early Amanullah-era Afghan coinage, with the date format reflecting the Shamsi calendar system adopted during this reign. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features a stylized mosque depicted in the central field, presented in a frontal architectural elevation with a prominent arch and flanking minarets. The mosque motif is enclosed within an inner frame of an eight-pointed star and surrounded by an outer ring of ten evenly spaced stars. The design reflects the strong Islamic iconographic tradition of Afghan coinage under Amanullah Khan, with the celestial star elements reinforcing dynastic and religious symbolism. |
