| Obverse description | Central field displays a Devanagari inscription arranged in two registers separated by a horizontal line, with script characters occupying the upper and lower portions of the flan. The legends are rendered in a bold, somewhat crude hammered style typical of provincial Maratha coinage of the early nineteenth century. The flan is irregular and slightly convex, with the inscription filling nearly the entire surface. No border or decorative elements are present beyond the inscription itself. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a Persian or Nagari inscription arranged in two registers divided by a horizontal line, characteristic of Bhonsla Nagpur copper coinage. The script is rendered in a flowing, somewhat worn style consistent with hammered provincial issues of this period. The flan is irregularly shaped with a rough, granular surface texture showing significant die wear and strike inconsistency. No mint mark, date, or decorative border is discernible, reflecting the undated nature of this issue. |
