| Obverse description | Hammered silver flan bearing a two-line Persian-script legend in the field, executed in bold calligraphic strokes typical of princely state issues. The inscription, reading 'Malika Muazzam Rafi ud-Darajat / Victoria Farmanarai Inglistan / Sikka Mubarak', acknowledges Queen Victoria as the exalted sovereign and overlord. The surfaces are characteristically uneven owing to the hand-struck technique, with a plain, slightly irregular border. |

| Reverse description | Hammered field bearing a multi-line Persian-script legend arranged across the flan, identifying the issuing seat as 'Dar ul-Riyasat Jaisalmer' (the seat of the princely state of Jaisalmer) with the auspicious epithet 'Maimanat Manus' (of propitious association). The regnal year 'Sana Julus 22' (the 22nd year of accession) appears in the lower portion, rendered in Arabic-Urdu numerals. The strike is characteristic of hammered coinage, with slight double-striking visible and an irregular border. |
