| Obverse description | Multi-line Arabic legend occupying the central field within a decorative inner border, reading 'Al-Sultan Al-Azam Muhammad bin Al-Sultan' in Naskh-style script. The inscription is arranged in horizontal registers across the flan. An outer dotted border frames the design. The strike is typical of hammered billon coinage of the Khwarezmian period, with characteristic irregular flan edges. |

| Reverse description | Elephant walking to the left depicted in a schematic, stylized manner characteristic of Indo-Islamic hammered coinage of the early 13th century. The animal's form occupies the central field, rendered in low relief with a pronounced outline. The reverse field shows significant wear and surface porosity consistent with billon composition, with remnants of a dotted border visible at the periphery. |
