| Obverse description | Crude Arabic legend occupying the central field, arranged in two horizontal lines separated by a plain horizontal band, set within a roughly circular, irregularly shaped flan. The inscription, characteristic of the Nagpur Bhonsle mint style, is boldly struck in relief with heavily worn detail typical of hammered copper issues of this period. The coin exhibits an uneven surface with areas of verdigris consistent with prolonged circulation. |

| Reverse description | Crude Nagari or Persian-influenced legend spread across the reverse field in a loosely arranged, multi-line inscription typical of Nagpur Bhonsle copper paisa coinage. The design is struck on an irregular flan showing characteristic weak areas and surface corrosion. The lettering, rendered in a provincial hammered style, fills the available field without a defined border, consistent with the low-denomination copper issues struck under Raghuji III. |
