| Obverse description | Arabic legend in two lines arranged within a beaded circle, reading سلطان د العال, representing a misspelled or deliberately altered form of سلطان العادل (The Just Sultan), with the letter dal (د) separated from its word and placed before it. The script is rudimentary in execution, consistent with hand-cut dies typical of Bruneian tin-lead pitis coinage. The field is uneven and porous due to the casting technique employed. |

| Reverse description | Two lines of Arabic legend enclosed within a beaded circle, reading مالك الظاهر (The Acknowledged Ruler). The inscription is centrally placed within the field, which exhibits the characteristic rough, porous surface associated with cast tin-lead pitis coinage of Brunei. The lettering, while simply rendered, follows the conventional epigraphic style found on Bruneian sultanate issues of the period. |
