| Obverse description | Monolingual Arabic legend arranged in multiple lines across the field, typical of the hammered coinage of the Delhi Sultanate. The inscription reads the royal title and epithet of the sultan in a bold, angular Naskh script. The legend fills the flan with characteristic informal spacing and slightly irregular placement owing to the hand-struck nature of the issue. No figurative imagery is present, consistent with Islamic numismatic convention. The field shows the uneven surface typical of hammered silver coins of this period. |

| Reverse description | Monolingual Arabic legend disposed in multiple lines across the reverse field, naming the sultan in full regal style. The inscription is struck in the same bold Naskh hand as the obverse, with the text distributed across the available flan space. The coin exhibits the characteristic irregular outline and uneven relief of hammered coinage produced at the Delhi Sultanate mint during the reign of Ala al-Din Muhammad Shah. No mint name or date appears on the reverse. The overall style is consistent with the anonymous, epigraphic coinage tradition of the early fourteenth-century Sultanate. |
