| Obverse description | Crudely struck hammered copper flan bearing fragmentary Arabic inscription in Naskh script disposed across the field. The legends, though heavily worn and partially legible, reference the issuing authority of the Ahmadnagar Sultanate under Murtaza II. The irregular flan surface exhibits characteristic casting striations and die-shift typical of late Deccan sultanate coinage of this period. |

| Reverse description | Reverse similarly struck with partial Arabic inscription across the field, referencing the Parenda mint and regnal attribution. The die work is crude and the strike uneven, resulting in only fragmentary legibility of the legend. The plain edge and irregular flan shape are consistent with hand-hammered production techniques employed at provincial Deccan mints in the early seventeenth century. |
