| Obverse description | Central field displays a stylized Devanagari legend within a rectangular frame with decorative border elements, characteristic of the Gwalior princely state hammered coinage. The inscription, rendered in a bold archaic hand, occupies the majority of the flan. A horizontal dividing line separates the main legend from a secondary inscription in the lower register. The overall die workmanship reflects the provincial hammered tradition of the Burhanpur mint under Jankoji Rao Scindia. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a deeply struck but partially indistinct design typical of hammered copper paise of the Gwalior princely state, showing what appears to be a reclining animal figure — likely a lion or bull — rendered in low relief within an irregular field. The flan exhibits the characteristic uneven surface and natural flow lines of hand-struck copper coinage, with areas of green patination and surface porosity consistent with age and burial. The design is set within a plain, undefined border formed by the natural edge of the planchet. |
