| Obverse description | Central field bears a four-line Arabic legend within an incuse square frame, recording the ruler's name and titles. The area surrounding the central square is filled with additional inscriptional detail, including mint and regnal references, arranged in the margins between the square and the coin's irregular circular periphery. The lettering is executed in a bold Naskh-style hand typical of Delhi Sultanate hammered gold coinage. |

| Reverse description | Central field bears a four-line Arabic legend enclosed within a circular border, identifying the sovereign, mint, and state. The surrounding annular field is decorated with a floral or foliate ornamental band interspersed with additional Arabic lettering, a design characteristic of late 13th-century Delhi Sultanate tanka coinage. The overall layout follows the standard concentric compositional scheme employed on Ilbari and later Khalji dynasty gold issues. |
