| Obverse description | Central field bearing a multi-line Arabic Kufic inscription arranged in horizontal registers, conveying the royal titulature and religious formula of Sultan Bahram Shah. The text is contained within a clearly defined dotted border that follows the coin's irregular round flan. The die-struck legends are characteristic of Ghaznavid hammered coinage, with angular Kufic letterforms typical of 12th-century eastern Islamic mints. |

| Reverse description | Multi-line Arabic Kufic inscription in the central field, arranged in horizontal registers and enclosed within a dotted circular border. The legends reference Islamic religious formulae and dynastic attributions consistent with Ghaznavid coinage struck at the Ghazni mint under Bahram Shah. The irregular flan and slightly off-center strike are characteristic features of hammered jitals of this period, with the dotted inner border a hallmark of the type. |
