| Obverse description | A fish symbol facing left, depicted in low relief at the center of the field, enclosed within a border of large beads forming a complete inner circle. The fish, a dynastic emblem of the Mysore kingdom, is rendered in a primitive but characteristic style typical of hammered copper kasu coinage of the period. |

| Reverse description | The reverse displays a series of vertical parallel lines dividing the field into registers, with a central panel containing a schematic architectural or throne-like motif surmounted by an arch or canopy form, with additional crude symbols below, all executed in the rough, hand-struck manner characteristic of anonymous Mysore copper issues of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. |
