| Obverse description | Square flan with Arabic script legend arranged in two horizontal registers separated by a ruled line. The upper register bears an inscription in bold raised relief, with individual letters showing characteristic Nastaliq or Naskh calligraphic style. The lower register continues the legend with additional characters, the whole field showing typical hammered fabric with irregular flan edges and a granular surface consistent with hand-struck copper coinage of the Malerkotla princely state. |

| Reverse description | Square flan bearing an Arabic script legend arranged in two horizontal registers separated by a ruled line, similar in layout to the obverse. A notable feature on the left side of the reverse is a square mark divided into four smaller squares, replacing the heart-shaped mark typically found on related issues of this series. The fields display the rough, uneven surface characteristic of hand-hammered copper coinage, with raised legends in bold relief against a granular background. |
