| Obverse description | Hammered gold flan bearing a bold Persian-script legend in the Mughal regal style, rendered in raised relief across the irregular round field. The inscription, referencing the suzerainty of George V as Emperor of India, is struck in flowing Nastaliq script across multiple registers. The surface exhibits characteristic hammered texture with slightly uneven edges typical of princely state coinage of this period. No portraiture appears; the design follows the traditional epigraphic convention of Rajput feudatory issues struck under British paramountcy. |

| Reverse description | Hammered gold field bearing a multi-line Devanagari inscription in raised relief, distributed across the irregular flan in the manner typical of Kishangarh princely coinage. The legend names the ruling maharaja Yagya Narayan Singh with his full regal title Maharajadhiraj, followed by the mint name Kishangarh and the denomination ½ Mohar. A stylised floral or foliate motif is visible in the central field, characteristic of the decorative vocabulary used in Rajput princely issues. The overall composition reflects the fusion of Mughal epigraphic tradition with local artistic convention. |
