| Obverse description | Crudely struck hammered copper flan displaying a heavily patinated field bearing an Arabic legend in Naskh script, partially legible due to the irregular flan and die wear. The inscription, characteristic of Bahmani Sultanate coinage of Mahmud Shah's reign, occupies the central field within a roughly circular border. The surfaces exhibit heavy green and blue cuprite patination consistent with long-term burial, rendering fine details difficult to distinguish. |

| Reverse description | Reverse presents an equally crude and heavily patinated field typical of late Bahmani copper fractions, with traces of an Arabic legend partially visible across the irregular flan. The design is characteristic of the debased subsidiary coinage issued during the reign of Mahmud Shah, struck on an unstandardised planchet with significant die misalignment. The surface is largely obscured by dense green patina and corrosion products, with only fragmentary elements of the inscription discernible. |
