| Obverse description | The entire field is occupied by a multi-line Arabic religious inscription rendered in a bold, archaic calligraphic hand characteristic of Maldivian hammered coinage of the 18th century. The legends are arranged in horizontal registers across the flan, with the script displaying pronounced relief against a flat, granular field. The inscription references the Islamic declaration of faith (Shahada) and the sultan's titles, typical of Maldivian larin coinage of this period. The coin exhibits an irregular flan with the legends slightly off-center, consistent with hand-struck production. |

| Reverse description | The reverse field is entirely covered by a multi-line Arabic inscription in bold hammered relief, arranged in horizontal registers filling the round flan. The legend includes the sultan's name and regnal titles together with the AH date 1173, presented in the lower register. The calligraphic style is consistent with the obverse, displaying the characteristic informal, archaic hand of Maldivian 18th-century struck coinage. The flan edges are irregular, reflecting the hand-hammered production technique. |
