| Obverse description | A horse galloping to the left occupies the central field, rendered in the bold, schematic style characteristic of medieval south Indian copper coinage. The horse's legs are outstretched in full gallop, with the mane and tail suggested by raised relief lines. The design fills the flan with minimal border treatment, typical of hammered Mysore kasu issues. |

| Reverse description | A geometric grid pattern dominates the reverse field, formed by horizontal and vertical incuse lines dividing the surface into rectangular compartments. A Kannada letter, likely 'ka' (ಕ), appears prominently within the central register of the grid. This device is characteristic of the anonymous kasu issues of the Mysore kingdom, serving as a mint or denominational identifier within a purely geometric framework. |
