| Obverse description | Central field bears a multi-line Devanagari legend arranged in two registers, reading 'राज्य डूंगरपुर', with bold incuse lettering in the traditional style of Rajput princely coinage. The coin is encircled by a prominent milled border with a raised rim, characteristic of late-period Indian princely state gold issues. The field is plain and unadorned beyond the inscription, giving the design a stark, calligraphic quality. |

| Reverse description | The reverse displays a central upright katar (ceremonial dagger) as the principal device, flanked to the right by a sprig of olive or laurel-like foliage rendered in fine relief. Devanagari legends appear to the left and upper field, recording the regnal or Vikrama Samvat date. The entire design is contained within a milled border with a raised rim consistent with the obverse. The composition is typical of Dungarpur princely state coinage of the Lakshman Singh era, combining dynastic symbolism with traditional script. |
