| Obverse description | Stylized bull depicted in right profile occupying the central field, rendered in the crude but vigorous hammered style characteristic of medieval Kangra coinage. The animal's head and body are rendered in low relief with simplified linear strokes. Decorative elements and symbolic motifs flank the bull figure within the irregular flan. The design reflects the Hindu devotional iconographic tradition common to hill kingdom coinage of the period. |

| Reverse description | Central field features a stylized anthropomorphic or deity figure rendered in schematic form, surrounded by Sharada script legend. The design is executed in low hammered relief on an irregular flan, with vertical strokes above a central circular element likely representing a solar or divine symbol. The crude workmanship is consistent with the local mint production of the Kangra hill kingdom under Rupa Chandra Deva I. Marginal legend in Sharada characters encircles the central motif. |
