| Obverse description | Crude hammered copper flan bearing a multi-line Arabic legend arranged across the field, divided horizontally by a raised line or band. The inscription, characteristic of Ahmadnagar Sultanate coinage, is rendered in a bold, somewhat archaic Naskh-influenced script. The lettering occupies the majority of the flan, with minimal border ornament. The irregular planchet and uneven strike are typical of hammered provincial coinage of the Deccan Sultanates. |

| Reverse description | The reverse displays a further Arabic legend in multiple lines filling the field, struck on an irregular copper flan consistent with hammered Deccan Sultanate practice. The script is bold and somewhat roughly executed, reflecting the artisanal nature of provincial mint production. Traces of flat areas and weak strike are visible at the margins, and faint traces of a border may be discerned on portions of the coin's periphery. |
