| Obverse description | Schematic depiction of a horseman riding to the right, rendered in the debased linear style characteristic of late Hindu Shahi-derived coinage. A bull is shown in association with the mounted figure, a combination known in Kangra jital typology as the Bull and Horseman type. The design occupies the full flan, which is irregularly struck, with details reduced to bold incuse lines on a roughly prepared copper planchet. |

| Reverse description | Multi-line Nagari inscription filling the entire field, rendered in a bold but somewhat crude script characteristic of hammered copper jitals of the Kangra hill kingdoms. The legend records the royal title and name of the issuing ruler and is distributed across the flan without a formal border. The strike is slightly off-centre, as is typical for hand-struck issues of this series, with some peripheral weakness visible at the edges. |
