| Obverse description | Central field occupied by a multi-line Arabic legend in bold Naskhi script, reading the name and titles of the ruler. The inscription fills the flan in characteristic Ghurid fashion, arranged in horizontal lines across the field. A simple decorative border element, possibly a rosette or floral device, appears at the lower margin. The flan is irregular and slightly scalloped at the periphery, typical of hammered billon jitals of the period. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a multi-line Arabic inscription in bold Naskhi script arranged horizontally across the field, conveying the Islamic religious formula and the ruler's honorific titles. The legend references the Abbasid suzerainty and the sultan's laqab. A dotted or beaded border encircles the inscription, characteristic of Ghurid hammered coinage. The flan is irregularly shaped with a slightly lobed edge, consistent with hand-struck billon issues of the Bamiyan branch of the Ghurid dynasty. |
