| Obverse description | Square hammered flan with bold Arabic script arranged in multiple registers across the field. The central legend reads the royal title of Sultan Nadir Shah, rendered in a flowing Naskh-influenced style characteristic of Kashmir Sultanate coinage. A small circular pellet is visible in the upper portion of the field. The legends are deeply struck, with the script filling the majority of the coin's surface. Margins are irregular, consistent with hand-struck medieval Islamic coinage. |

| Reverse description | Square hammered flan with dense Arabic script distributed across the field in multiple registers, consistent with the devotional and royal formulae typical of Kashmir Sultanate sasnu coinage. The lettering is interlocking and stylized, reflecting the compact Naskh script tradition of the region. Two small circular pellets are visible within the field. The striking is irregular at the margins, and the overall surface shows the characteristic planarity of hammered medieval coinage. No central device or border is present. |
