| Obverse description | Central field dominated by bold Persian Nasta'liq script rendered in high relief, characteristic of Mughal-derived coinage traditions. The legend occupies the majority of the flan with large, flowing calligraphic strokes typical of hammered princely state issues. The irregular planchet exhibits the characteristic uneven edge of hand-struck silver coinage. Additional inscriptions appear in the lower register, partially off-flan due to the nature of the hammering technique. |

| Reverse description | Central device consists of a rectangular framework enclosing a prominent arrangement of raised pellets in a grid pattern, a design element characteristic of Gwalior princely state coinage of the period. Devanagari script inscriptions appear along the upper and lower margins of the field. The lower portion features additional Devanagari legends denoting regnal or mint information. The flan is irregular in outline, consistent with hammered silver production, and the relief is bold throughout. |
