| Obverse description | Elongated, rod-shaped hammered silver larin with a coiled or folded wire form tapering at both ends. The flat, irregularly surfaced field bears Arabic legends arranged longitudinally along the length of the coin, characteristic of the larin type produced in the Persian Gulf region. The inscription is struck in a cursive Arabic script with individual characters distributed across the available surface, typical of the hammered coinage of the Qalhati emirate under Farrukhshah. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a similarly elongated, irregular silver surface with Arabic inscriptions arranged along the central axis of the coin. The legends, struck with characteristic unevenness typical of hammered larin coinage, likely record the ruler's name or titles and the mint or date formula. The surface texture is rough and granular, consistent with the primitive minting technique employed in the production of Gulf-region larins during the late sixteenth century. |
