| Obverse description | Hammered silver flan bearing the royal Persian legend of Aurangzeb Alamgir arranged in three horizontal registers divided by raised lines across the field. The inscription, reading right to left in flowing Naskh script, occupies the full face of the coin. The irregular, slightly convex flan surface displays the characteristic texture of hand-struck Mughal-style coinage, with the legend portions in bold relief against a granular field. |

| Reverse description | Hammered silver reverse with three horizontal registers separated by raised lines, bearing the mint and regnal year inscription in Persian Naskh script. The central band carries the accession formula and the lower register records the mint name Hukeri (ضرب هوکیری). Decorative pellet ornaments and floral devices are scattered throughout the field, consistent with Maratha-struck rupees imitating Mughal coinage. The flan edges are irregular, typical of hand-struck hammered issues from this series. |
