| Obverse description | Central effigy of Maharaja Ganga Singh in military uniform, facing slightly left, wearing a turban and medals on his chest, rendered in fine relief against a flat field. A circular Devanagari legend surrounds the portrait reading 'Maharajadhiraj Shri Ganga Singhji Bahadur'. The coin is struck within a beaded border. The portrait conveys a regal and formal character consistent with commemorative Nazrana issues of the princely states. |
