| Obverse description | Central field dominated by a large stylized Devanagari inscription rendered in bold relief, reading the ruler's name or title in archaic script characters. The legend is arranged in a circular fashion around the central device, with heavily stylized letterforms characteristic of the local Bundi coinage tradition. The overall design reflects the continuation of pre-modern Indian princely state minting conventions adapted under British suzerainty during the Edwardian period. |
