| Obverse description | Central solar disc with radiating straight and wavy rays filling the field, depicted in the traditional Indian princely style. The sun motif, emblem of the Lunavada ruling house, is rendered with a raised circular orb at centre surrounded by alternating straight flame-like and undulating rays. Scattered pellets and a trident-like symbol appear in the left field, consistent with the crude hammered fabric typical of this series. |

| Reverse description | Crude hammered field bearing a large stylised Nagari or Devanagari character in the centre, flanked by scattered pellets and a small lozenge-shaped ornament in the lower right field. Additional cursive legend elements are visible around the periphery, though heavily worn and partially illegible, characteristic of the rough artisanal die-work employed for Lunavada copper coinage of this period. |
