| Obverse description | Crude hammered copper flan bearing Devanagari legend in the central field, with a horizontal line dividing the upper and lower registers. The upper register features a stylized arch or canopy motif, while the lower field displays cursive Devanagari characters accompanied by a cluster of raised pellets to the right. The overall execution is characteristic of the rough, hand-struck coinage produced at the Udaipur Mint for the Mewar princely state. |

| Reverse description | Plain copper field bearing two large, boldly struck Devanagari characters in the upper portion of the flan, each formed with hollow square interiors, set above a broad horizontal band or bar that divides the field. The lower register is largely flat and worn, with faint additional legend barely discernible. The flan is irregular and thick, consistent with the hammered coinage tradition of the Mewar princely state. |
