| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bold Arabic script legend occupying the majority of the flan, identifying the ruler Muhammad Akbar II, with the regnal date partially off flan as is typical of hammered coinage of this type. In the lower portion of the field, a decorative plant motif is rendered in relief, comprising a central stem with spreading branches bearing small globular fruits or berries, a characteristic device associated with Gadwal feudatory issues. The irregular flan and strongly struck calligraphic lettering are consistent with the hand-hammered production technique of the period. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Arabic script legend occupying the upper portion of the flan, recording the regnal or Hijri date. A prominent countermark is applied to the lower half of the field below a horizontal dividing line, consisting of a bold cursive Arabic character, likely denoting authenticity or re-validation by the Gadwal feudatory authority. The flan is irregular in outline, with typical surface characteristics of a hammered silver coin. The countermark is deeply impressed and appears centrally placed within its designated zone. |

Gadwal was a small zamindari — later recognized as a samasthanam — under Hyderabad's suzerainty, its rulers permitted to strike coinage in the name of the reigning Mughal emperor as a mark of nominal allegiance to Delhi. By 1820, Muhammad Akbar II held the Mughal throne in little more than a ceremonial capacity, the real power having long settled with the East India Company. That a feudatory of a feudatory continued issuing silver in his name speaks more to local political theatre than to any functional monetary relationship with the Mughal court.
