| Obverse description | Central device depicting a horseman in profile facing right, seated upon a walking horse; the rider's arm appears raised, rendered in a schematic Indo-Muslim style characteristic of Ghurid jitals. The design is executed in bold, stylized relief with a dotted border partially encircling the central motif. The flan is irregular and slightly convex, with the hammered fabric visible at the edges. |

| Reverse description | The reverse bears a multi-line Arabic inscription filling the central field, presenting the ruler's titles and name in a dense, interlocking Naskh-influenced script typical of Ghurid coinage. The legend, referencing Ghiyath al-Din Mahmud, is arranged in several registers across the flat field. A partial dotted border frames the inscription, though the irregular flan causes portions of the border to be incomplete. The hammered strike produces slightly uneven relief across the die. |
