| Obverse description | Arabic inscription in bold calligraphic script occupying the central field, divided by a horizontal line into two registers. The upper register contains the ruler's name or a portion of the religious formula, while the lower register bears complementary text. The legend is enclosed within a dotted border running along the inner periphery of the coin. The irregular flan and characteristic crude style are typical of hammered fractional gold coinage from the Qalhati emirate. |

| Reverse description | Arabic inscription in cursive calligraphic script arranged across the central field, with bold strokes filling the available space on the irregular flan. The legend, likely containing the mint name, date, or ruler's title, is framed by a partial dotted border visible along the coin's periphery. The surface displays the characteristic uneven texture and slight irregularities of hand-hammered gold coinage. The overall style is consistent with fractional dinar issues of the Qalhati emirate during the mid-sixteenth century. |
