| Obverse description | A stylized horseman advancing to the right occupies the central field, depicted in the characteristic schematic manner of late medieval Indian billon coinage. The rider's limbs and mount are rendered in bold, abstracted strokes typical of Chauhan-period jitals. Devanagari or Sharada script legends appear in the surrounding border, though heavily degenerate and partially illegible due to the anonymous nature of this Madana-copy type. Small pellets or decorative elements punctuate the field. The overall style reflects the artistic conventions of the Bull and Horseman series common to northern Indian dynasties of the 13th century. |

| Reverse description | A humped bull (zebu) is depicted standing or walking to the left in the central field, rendered in the bold, schematic style characteristic of 13th-century northern Indian billon jitals. The animal's distinctive hump, dewlap, and legs are indicated by simplified but recognizable strokes. Degenerate script legends, derived from earlier Chauhan prototypes, encircle the bull in the border area, typical of the anonymous Madana-copy series where inscriptions became increasingly stylized over successive strikes. Small pellet or dot devices appear in the field. The reverse type corresponds to the standard Bull and Horseman coinage tradition of the Chauhan dynasty and its imitators. |
