| Obverse description | A stylized elephant facing left with trunk raised, rendered in low relief in the crude hammered style characteristic of Mysore coinage of this period. The animal's legs and body are depicted in a compact, broadly modelled form filling much of the coin's field. The flan is slightly irregular, as typical of hand-struck copper issues of the Mysore kingdom. |

| Reverse description | A geometric compartmented design divided into rectangular sections by raised horizontal and vertical lines, containing Kannada or Telugu script characters within the panels. The layout is angular and schematic, with legends disposed across the upper and lower registers of the divided field. The crude incuse-style lettering is characteristic of the hammered copper coinage issued under the Mysore kings of this era. |
