| Obverse description | Central field bearing the Arabic legend 'Murtaza Shah' (مرتضى شاه) executed in bold Naskh script, filling the flan. The inscription is hammered in raised relief against an unadorned field, characteristic of Deccan Sultanate copper coinage of the early seventeenth century. The lettering displays the cursive, flowing style typical of Ahmadnagar mint production under Murtaza II. No border or decorative elements are present, consistent with the utilitarian aesthetic of the series. |

| Reverse description | Central field occupied by the Arabic mint name 'Ahmadnagar' (احمدنگر) in raised Naskh script, with the regnal year below, both elements filling the flan in the customary Deccan hammered style. The inscription is disposed across the field without a formal border, the lettering bold and somewhat irregular as expected of hand-struck provincial copper coinage. A horizontal baseline separates the mint name from the date area. The overall presentation is plain and functional, with no decorative motifs or additional devices. |
