| Obverse description | Hammered billon flan bearing a multi-line Arabic legend inscribed in bold Naskh script, reading vertically from bottom upwards within the field. The inscription naming the sultan Muhammad Shah Firuz Shah Sultani fills the die area, with characteristic thick, rounded letterforms typical of late Tughlaq-period coinage. The flan is irregular and slightly convex, with granular surface texture and no decorative border. |

| Reverse description | Hammered reverse displaying a multi-line Arabic legend in Naskh script occupying the entire field, invoking the Abbasid caliph Abu Abd Allah with the pious formula affirming the perpetuity of his caliphate, accompanied by the AH date. The bold, somewhat compressed letterforms are typical of Tughlaq billon issues of the late fourteenth century, struck on an irregular flan with no marginal border or decorative device. |
