| Obverse description | Square flan with a raised central cartouche containing bold Arabic script in high relief, imitating the kalima or royal legend found on Mughal rupees. The field surrounding the central device features additional cursive Arabic inscription elements in the corners. The overall die work is crude relative to official Mughal coinage, consistent with a temple or devotional imitation piece. |

| Reverse description | Square flan with a dotted border along the top edge enclosing a central rectangular panel bearing multiple lines of Arabic script in raised relief, imitating the mint and regnal year format of a Mughal rupee reverse.
