| Obverse description | Crude hammered field bearing a stylised architectural motif, traditionally identified as a cemetery or tomb structure, rendered in low relief at the lower portion of the flan. A crescent or arch-like form rises above the structure in the upper field. The design is characteristic of the rudimentary die-cutting style employed in early Gwalior princely coinage, with no inscribed legend. |

| Reverse description | Crude hammered field bearing boldly incised Arabic or Nagari script characters in low relief, occupying the central field of the flan. The lettering, though worn and weakly struck, conveys the denomination or issuer identifier typical of early Gwalior copper paise. The flan exhibits an irregular lobulated edge and characteristic roughness consistent with hammered copper coinage of the late 18th-century princely states. |
