| Obverse description | Octagonal hammered silver flan bearing a three-line inscription in Assamese script within a plain inner border. The legend fills the central field and is set against a flat, unadorned background. A border of small pellets or beads runs along the inner edges of the octagonal periphery, framing the inscription. The characters are rendered in bold, hand-cut relief typical of Ahom coinage of the period. |

The flat field bears no additional ornament beyond the inscribed legend. |
