| Obverse description | Hammered billon flan bearing Arabic inscriptions arranged across the field in multiple lines, naming the Sultan and recording the regnal year. The legends are hand-struck and display the characteristic irregular placement typical of Maldivian larin coinage of this period. The inscription reads the Sultan's name 'Muhammad' alongside the Hijri year 1129, disposed within the available field without a formal border. |

| Reverse description | Hammered reverse bearing a two-line Arabic inscription across the field, proclaiming the ruler's sovereign title. The legend is struck in the characteristic crude style of Maldivian hammered billon issues, with letters distributed across the flan without an encircling border. The inscription affirms the Sultan's dominion over both land and sea, a standard honorific formula employed on Maldivian coinage of the period. |
