| Obverse description | Bearded royal effigy in right-facing profile rendered in the Sasanian tradition, closely imitating the portrait style of Peroz I. The bust is draped and wears an elaborate domed crown surmounted by wings, characteristic of late Sasanian royal iconography as adapted by the Gujuras rulers of Sind. The portrait occupies the central field, with stylized facial features retaining the formalism typical of post-Sasanian imitative coinage of the northwestern Indian subcontinent. |

| Reverse description | Abstract reverse design derived from the Sasanian fire-altar attendant motif, featuring two schematized figures flanking a central element, likely a debased rendering of the double-attendant type found on late Sasanian gold coinage. The composition has undergone significant stylization, reflecting the local reinterpretation of Sasanian iconographic conventions by Sindhi die-cutters. A Brahmi legend appears in the field, serving as the primary inscription identifying the issuing authority. |
