| Obverse description | Irregular hammered copper flan bearing bold Arabic script occupying the entire field. The inscription, rendered in a cursive Naskh style typical of Mughal copper coinage of the reign of Akbar, fills the die area without a defined border. The legends are deeply struck but somewhat crudely executed, consistent with provincial mint production of the period. |

| Reverse description | Reverse displays the AH regnal year inscribed in large Eastern Arabic numerals centrally placed within the field, with additional Arabic legends surrounding. The numeral ۹۷۳ (973 AH, corresponding to 1566 CE) is prominently struck. The die is characteristic of the Narnol mint output under Akbar, with an irregular flan edge and plain edge treatment. |
