| Obverse description | Crude hammered field displaying a stylized Arabic legend arranged in two or three lines within an irregular flan, characteristic of late Bahmani copper coinage. The inscription is set within the central field without a defined border, rendered in a degenerate calligraphic style typical of minor fractional copper issues. Surface shows natural patination consistent with the copper composition and age of the piece. |

| Reverse description | Reverse field bears a roughly executed Arabic inscription within a square or rectangular cartouche set against a plain field, a common device on Bahmani fractional copper coinage. The die work is crude and characteristic of hand-struck provincial issues, with the legend partially legible due to the irregular flan and weak strike. The surrounding field is plain, with no border or decorative elements. |
