| Obverse description | Central device depicts a reclining Nandi bull (sacred bull of Shiva) facing left, rendered in low relief with the characteristic humped form. An AH (Hijri) date appears above the bull in the field. The flan is irregularly shaped and the surfaces show the characteristic rough texture of hand-struck copper coinage of the Holkar state of Indore. |

| Reverse description | Central motif consists of a stylized Bhilsa (pipul) leaf depicted beneath a pair of horizontal double lines traversing the field, a design element emblematic of the Holkar dynasty coinage of Indore. The leaf is rendered in a schematic, low-relief style typical of early nineteenth-century hammered copper issues of the princely states of central India. The field surrounding the device is plain, and the coin edge is irregular owing to the hand-struck production method. |
