| Obverse description | A lion passant to left occupies the central field, rendered in a schematic, archaic style characteristic of medieval Rajput coinage. The device is enclosed within two concentric circles of beaded dots, forming a decorative border around the entire design. The flan is irregular in shape, as typical of hammered issues of this period. |

| Reverse description | A three-line Devanagari legend is arranged within a dotted border circle. The inscription reads 'jai / ta si de / va', with the third line flanked by symbols of the sun and moon, celestial emblems of sovereignty commonly employed on Rajput dynastic coinage. The overall layout is compact and consistent with hammered silver drachms of the Chauhan rulers of Ranathambore. |
