| Obverse description | Central field occupied by a multi-line Arabic inscription rendered in a bold, angular hand within an unbordered rectangular panel. The legend, likely comprising a religious or administrative formula, is set against a flat copper field with characteristic hammered surface irregularities. Marginal inscriptions partially encircle the central panel, though strike weakness and flan irregularity render portions illegible. The overall style is consistent with provincial Persian or Central Asian hammered copper coinage of the early modern period. |

| Reverse description | The reverse displays a multi-line Arabic inscription filling the entire field, executed in a flowing naskh-style hand typical of provincial copper coinage. The legends, likely recording the mint name Urdubad and denominational or pious formulae, are disposed in horizontal registers across the coin's face. Strike is uneven due to the hammered technique, resulting in areas of weakness particularly toward the flan margins. The surface retains an olive-brown patina consistent with prolonged circulation. |
