| Obverse description | Devanagari legend occupying the entire field, arranged in multiple lines across the flan in the characteristic style of Gwalior princely coinage. The inscription, rendered in bold raised Devanagari characters, fills the coin face with the ruler's name and regal titles. The script is deeply struck with broad, somewhat irregular strokes typical of hammered silver coinage of the period. The overall design follows the indigenous tradition of the Scindia mint, with no figurative imagery. |
