| Obverse description | Central square cartouche containing the name and titles of the ruler Ibrahim Bahadur Khan in Arabic script, rendered in the nastaliq calligraphic style. Additional inscriptions occupy the surrounding fields within the coin's irregular flan, typical of hammered Central Asian silver coinage of the period. The overall design follows the standard Shaybanid formula of text-based composition without figural imagery. |

| Reverse description | Central square cartouche enclosing the mint name and regnal date in Arabic script in the nastaliq style, consistent with late Shaybanid coinage conventions. Surrounding legends fill the remaining field within the irregular hammered flan, likely including religious formulae or supplementary royal titles. The layout mirrors the obverse in its geometric framing, presenting a balanced bilaterally symmetrical composition characteristic of this series. |
