| Obverse description | Hammered silver flan displaying bold Devanagari script in the central field, with the devotional invocation 'Sri Jama' rendered in stylized characters. The design is divided by a horizontal line across the field, with calligraphic elements occupying the upper register and additional script motifs in the lower register. The strike is characteristic of the irregular hand-struck coinage of the Nawanagar princely state, with the legend fill occupying most of the available flan surface. The overall execution reflects the local minting tradition of Kathiawar region workshop production. |

| Reverse description | Hammered reverse displaying a prominent decorative motif in the upper register consisting of multiple vertical parallel lines separated by a bold horizontal bar, occupying the majority of the coin's surface. The lower register contains Devanagari or related script characters, including numerals or letter forms, consistent with Kathiawar princely state coinage conventions. The flan is irregular in outline and the strike uneven, typical of hand-hammered issues from this region and period. The field shows moderate wear and natural silver patina with some encrustations. |
