| Obverse description | Central field dominated by a cruciform arrangement of Devanagari inscriptions within a square cartouche, with a small circular floral rosette at the centre. The four quadrants formed by the cross contain additional Devanagari legends recording the ruler's name and titles. Decorative scrollwork and floral ornaments occupy the interstitial spaces around the central device, with a crescent moon visible in the upper field. The whole is enclosed within a plain inner border and an outer beaded border. |

| Reverse description | Central field bearing three horizontal lines of Devanagari inscription set within a circular border, surrounded by an elaborate stylised lotus or multi-petalled floral wreath whose pointed petals radiate outward to fill the field. Additional Devanagari characters appear in the spaces between the petal tips. A decorative finial or crown-like device surmounts the central circle at the top. The entire design is contained within a beaded outer border consistent with Nepalese hammered coinage of the period. |
