| Obverse description | Crudely struck hammered copper flan depicting a stylized animal figure, possibly a lion or mythical beast, rendered in low relief in a bold, naive artistic style typical of Deccan Sultanate coinage. The figure occupies the central field of the coin, with surrounding design elements worn and partially legible. The surfaces show heavy patination consistent with extended circulation. |

| Reverse description | Reverse displays boldly rendered Arabic inscription in cursive Naskh-style script, filling the central field in a characteristic Deccan Sultanate arrangement. The legends, partially obscured by wear and the rough hammered strike, likely contain the ruler's name and titles. The field shows typical uneven surface texture resulting from the hammered striking technique, with raised die-cut lettering visible against the corroded copper flan. |
