| Obverse description | Central field occupied by bold Naskh Arabic calligraphy arranged in two registers within a rectangular cartouche, comprising the royal couplet (the 'Lutf-i-Allah' verse) struck in the name of the Mughal emperor Muhammad Shah. A cluster of pellets (annulets) is visible to the left within the cartouche, serving as a mint or die mark characteristic of issues struck under Maratha vassalage. The cartouche is bordered by a raised linear frame, with additional fragmentary Arabic legend visible in the outer margin of the flan. |

| Reverse description | Central field displays bold Naskh Arabic calligraphy arranged in two horizontal registers within a rectangular cartouche, recording the mint epithet and regnal year particulars associated with the Bankapur mint. A cluster of pellets appears prominently to the upper left within the cartouche, a diagnostic mark of this issuing authority. The cartouche is enclosed within a raised linear border, with fragmentary Arabic legend continuing into the lower segment of the flan below a horizontal dividing line, consistent with the standard Mughal rupee reverse format as adapted by Maratha vassal mints. |
