| Obverse description | Hammered silver flan bearing bold Nagari and Persian calligraphic legends filling the entire field in the characteristic style of Rajput princely state coinage. The inscription, rendered in large, flowing strokes, occupies the full face of the coin with no border ornament. The irregular flan edge and uneven strike are typical of hand-struck issues from the Pratabgarh mint. A horizontal line divides the field, above which an arched legend appears, with further inscription characters distributed across the lower field. |

| Reverse description | The reverse displays bold Arabic-script legends in a traditional Mughal-derived calligraphic style, occupying the full field of the hammered flan. A prominent horizontal band crosses the upper portion of the field, beneath which large cursive characters are arranged across the coin's face. Three pellets or dot devices are visible in the central-upper field, serving as mint or regnal marks characteristic of Pratabgarh issues. The irregular flan shape and crude strike are consistent with the hand-hammered production technique employed at this princely state mint. |
