| Beschrijving voorzijde | Crude hammered copper flan bearing a stylized device in the central field, likely a local dynastic symbol or floral motif rendered in the primitive local style characteristic of Karauli princely coinage. The design is deeply struck with irregular relief, typical of hand-struck provincial issues. The flan is irregular and shows characteristic surface porosity and oxidation consistent with copper coinage of this era. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Reverse displays a bold, crudely incised central device, possibly representing a stylized leaf or vegetal motif, occupying the majority of the field. The strike is characteristic of hand-hammered local production from the Karauli mint, with an irregular flan edge and uneven relief. The field is worn smooth in areas, consistent with circulation use. |

Karauli was among the smaller Rajput princely states that retained the right to strike its own copper coinage under the subsidiary alliance framework with the British Crown. The 1886 date places this issue in the post-Queen's Proclamation period, when many such states were pressured — though not yet compelled — to align their local coinage with imperial standards. Karauli resisted full monetary integration longer than most of its neighbors in the Rajputana Agency.
KM#50 is poorly documented in most standard references, with surviving specimens largely traceable to a single small hoard reportedly surfacing in the 1970s.
