The Vikrama Samvat date 1968 (= 1911 AD) appears in Nepali numerals along the lower arc. The entire design is enclosed within a continuous beaded border, characteristic of Nepalese milled gold coinage of the late Shah dynasty period. |

| Reverse description | Central field features a stylized Khukri or royal emblematic device set within a raised circular cartouche atop a lotus base with scrolling foliate elements, rendered in the traditional Nepalese medallic style. Surrounding the central motif, the ruler's name 'Bir Bikram Shah Dev' is distributed in Devanagari characters across the field in four registers. The reverse is enclosed by the same continuous beaded border as the obverse, presenting a harmonious and symmetrical composition consistent with Nepalese gold Mohar coinage of the early twentieth century. |
