| Obverse description | Elephant striding left within a beaded or dotted circular border, with a dagger or short sword depicted above the animal's back. The elephant is rendered in a stylized, bold relief characteristic of Vijayanagara copper coinage, with the trunk lowered and legs in motion. The field surrounding the figure is plain. |

| Reverse description | Three-line Nagari (Devanagari) inscription arranged in the field reading 'Sri Prata / pa Achyuta / Raya', identifying the issuing ruler Achyutaraya. The lettering is crudely struck and characteristic of the hammered copper issues of the Vijayanagara Empire, with the legend occupying most of the reverse field within an irregular flan. |
