| Obverse description | The octagonal hammered gold field is entirely occupied by a multi-line inscription in Assamese script, arranged in three horizontal registers separated by engraved lines. The bold, deeply struck legends fill the flan to its clipped edges, with no figurative design elements; the inscriptional content records the royal titulature and regnal information of the issuing Ahom king in the traditional epigraphic style characteristic of the Ahom coinage of Assam. |

| Reverse description | The reverse of this octagonal hammered gold mohur presents a multi-line Assamese script inscription distributed across four horizontal registers, the uppermost register bordered by a row of small pellets or annulets forming an inner border along the top edge of the flan. The deeply incuse legends, struck in the robust epigraphic style typical of Ahom royal coinage, record the king's name, titles, and the regnal year, occupying virtually the entire field without ornamental embellishment. |
