| Obverse description | Plain, uniface cast copper surface with no inscriptions, devices, or decorative elements. The flan is roughly square with heavily rounded corners and irregular edges characteristic of primitive cast coinage. The surface displays a smooth, worn field with scattered casting pits and a deep brown patina consistent with age. This type, known as the Bhutwaliya or Gorakhpuri Paisa, was produced as a trade and circulation piece in the Terai region and bears no legends or imagery on either face. |

| Reverse description | Plain, featureless reverse field with no inscriptions, devices, or ornamentation. The surface is flat to slightly convex with rounded square corners, exhibiting a uniform dark brown copper patina and minor casting porosity throughout the flan. As with the obverse, the absence of any design is a defining characteristic of this anonymous cast paisa type, which relied on weight and composition rather than imagery for its monetary authority. |
