| Obverse description | Mughal-style regal field bearing the name and titles of George V rendered in Nastaliq script across multiple horizontal registers, with characteristic pellet ornaments and diagonal stroke devices typical of the Kishangarh hammered coinage. The legend, occupying the full flan, is arranged in flowing calligraphic bands framed by linear borders, following the traditional Indo-Mughal epigraphic convention in which the imperial name serves as the primary design element. The irregular flan and bold relief of the struck inscriptions are characteristic of the hand-hammered technique employed at the Kishangarh mint during the reign of Maharaja Madan Singh. |

| Reverse description | Central field occupied by the prominent symbol of Madan, the dynastic emblem of the Kishangarh state, accompanied by the Jhar flower motif — a stylised flowering branch rendered with spiralling stems, budding florets, and prominent pellet berries distributed across the flan. The floral spray, a hallmark device of Kishangarh coinage under Maharaja Madan Singh, fills the field in vigorous relief, with curved leaf forms and scrolling tendrils. Partial Arabic-script legend is visible at the periphery of the irregular flan. The overall design reflects the distinctive local artistic tradition of the Kishangarh mint. |
