| Obverse description | Central field features the Shanku (sacred conch shell), a traditional emblem of the Kingdom of Travancore, rendered in stylized relief with decorative scrollwork and a crown-like finial at the apex. The conch is set within a raised circular border, the whole surrounded by a bold eight-pointed star whose alternating triangular points radiate to the coin's rim, filling the field with a striking geometric pattern. No legend or inscription appears on this face. |

| Reverse description | The reverse bears a two-line Malayalam inscription arranged across the plain field, reading 'Oru Kaashu' (One Cash), denoting the denomination. The Malayalam characters are rendered in large, clearly spaced raised lettering occupying the central portion of the field, with no additional border ornament or imagery. The flat, unadorned field gives the legend a bold and legible appearance. |
