| Obverse description | A tiger passant left rendered in stylized relief, set within a double linear border forming a concentric circular frame. The field surrounding the central device features a decorative inscription or ornamental legend arranged circumferentially between the inner and outer circles. The artistic style is characteristic of medieval South Indian coinage, with bold, somewhat schematic execution typical of hammered Chola issues. |

| Reverse description | A three-line legend in Devanagari script arranged horizontally across the field, divided by linear borders forming a grid-like or paneled layout. The inscription is contained within a rectangular or square inner frame, with further border elements surrounding the central panel. The lettering, though somewhat irregular due to the hammered technique, is boldly struck and consistent with Chola-period epigraphic conventions. |
