| Obverse description | Central field dominated by a bold Arabic letter or symbol in high relief, rendered in a characteristic Mughal calligraphic style. A decorative border of raised pellets encircles the design, consistent with hammered copper coinage of the Akbar period. The flan is irregular and slightly convex, with typical wear and surface patina associated with circulation strikes of this denomination. The design elements are bold but crudely executed, reflecting the artisanal hammered technique employed at Mughal mints. |

| Reverse description | Central field bearing a two-line Arabic inscription in bold relief, displaying the Ilahi regnal year (year 33, corresponding to 1587–1588 AH) with numerals rendered in a large, angular Mughal calligraphic hand. The legend is contained within a beaded border of raised pellets that frames the entire field. The flan is irregular, with characteristic surface roughness and patina typical of hammered Mughal copper coinage. The die work is strong and legible despite the crude striking technique common to low-denomination copper issues of the Akbar period. |
