| Obverse description | Elongated folded wire larin of characteristic fish-hook form, hammered from a billon strip and bent upon itself to create a doubled rod shape tapering to rounded terminals. The outer surface displays faint incuse impressions resulting from the striking process, with irregular surface texturing consistent with hammered billon coinage of the Persian Gulf region. No figural or calligraphic design is clearly discernible on this face due to the nature of the folded larin format. |

| Reverse description | Reverse of the folded larin presenting the inner fold seam running longitudinally along the length of the piece, with the characteristic compressed and slightly flattened profile typical of Gulf larin coinage. Faint die impressions of Arabic legend are present but largely indistinct owing to the folded and rounded form of the planchet. The surface exhibits the dark billon patina and irregular texture associated with hammered circulation issues of the Bani Khalid Emirate. |
