| Obverse description | A multi-pointed star enclosed within a circular border occupies the central field, rendered in low relief with a small circular hub at its centre. The star's radiating points are framed by an outer wreath or foliate border that encircles the entire design. The hammered flan gives the surfaces an irregular, uneven texture characteristic of early Afghan copper coinage. No legend or inscription appears on this face. |

| Reverse description | Arabic inscription in Naskh script occupies the central field, arranged in two or three horizontal lines across the flan. A vertical stroke or dividing line bisects the legend, a feature typical of Kabul falus coinage of this type. A row of small pellets or dots is visible along the left margin of the coin. The overall design is struck on an irregular, hand-cut planchet consistent with hammered Afghan copper issues of the period. |
