| Obverse description | Inscriptional type with no figurative imagery. The field is divided horizontally by a raised line, with the frozen Hijri date AH 978 rendered in Arabic-Devanagari numerals occupying the upper register. The lower register bears the honorific title legend reading 'Sree Jamji' (षऱी जामजी), invoking the dynastic title of the Jam Saheb rulers of Nawanagar. The legends are struck in a bold, archaic hammered style characteristic of Kathiawar princely coinage, with an irregularly shaped flan typical of hand-struck issues. |

| Reverse description | Inscriptional type featuring a stylized depiction of a katar (Indian push-dagger) rendered in abstract linear form within the field, serving as the primary dynastic emblem of the Nawanagar state. The design is divided by horizontal lines into registers, with the katar motif centrally placed and surrounded by geometric border elements. The execution is in the bold, flat relief characteristic of hammered Kathiawar coinage, struck on an irregular flan with variable alignment. |
