| Obverse description | Stylized recumbent bull facing left in the central field, rendered in a schematic, highly abstracted manner characteristic of post-Shahiya Ghurid coinage derived from earlier Hindu Shahi prototypes. Pellets are visible in the field adjacent to the animal's body. The design is enclosed within a beaded border, though strike irregularities cause portions of the border to fall off the flan. |

| Reverse description | Four-line Arabic inscription arranged horizontally across the field in Kufic script, presenting the ruler's titles and name. The legends are rendered in a bold, angular style typical of early Ghurid billon coinage. Strike is typical of hammered production, with some weakness at the irregular flan edges. The inscription fills the available field without a formal border frame. |
