| Obverse description | Bold Arabic legend in two lines across the field, executed in the characteristic bold Naskh script of the Bahmani Sultanate, attributing the coin to Sultan Muhammad Shah III Lashkari (r. 1463–1482). A horizontal dividing line separates the main legend from a lower register bearing the AH date in Arabic numerals. The flan is irregular and thick, consistent with hammered copper coinage of the Deccan sultanates, with the legends occupying nearly the entire field. |

| Reverse description | Arabic multi-line legend in bold Naskh script filling the field, typical of Bahmani copper coinage of the Gulbarga and Bidar period. The inscription is arranged in two to three lines across an undivided field, with the sultan's titles and epithets rendered in a characteristic thick relief. The flan edges are irregular due to the hand-struck hammered technique, and surface patination shows green cuprite deposits consistent with long burial or circulation. |
