| Obverse description | Central field features a stylized trident (trishula) flanked by Newar script legends within a raised circular border. Surrounding the central device is a decorative four-petaled lotus flower motif, each petal containing additional Newar script characters. The entire design is enclosed by a prominent outer ring of raised pellets, characteristic of Newar coinage of the Malla period. The overall composition reflects the highly ornate and sacred iconographic tradition of the Patan royal mint. |

| Reverse description | Central field displays a multi-line Newar script inscription enclosed within a raised circular border, likely recording the regnal name of Rajya Prakash Malla and the Nepal Sambat frozen date of 865. The central medallion is surrounded by a stylized lotus petal arrangement with Newar script characters inscribed within each petal lobe. The outermost border consists of a continuous ring of raised pellets, consistent with Malla-period silver mohar coinage of Patan. The design is boldly struck in high relief, with deep fields and sharply defined legend elements. |
