| Obverse description | A stylized lotus flower occupies the central field, depicted in a schematic, flat relief with segmented petals radiating outward from a central hub. The design is characteristic of the primitive die-cut style employed in Lunavada coinage. The coin itself is a half-circle, having been cut from a full Paisa, resulting in only half of the original lotus motif being visible. The surfaces show natural copper patination consistent with age and circulation. |

| Reverse description | The reverse field is plain and largely featureless, retaining the irregular cut edge consistent with this coin having been produced by bisecting a full Paisa flan. The half-circle shape is the defining characteristic, with the cut edge forming the straight diameter of the piece. Surface wear and green copper corrosion (patina) are evident across the field. No legends, symbols, or inscriptions are present on this side. |
