| Obverse description | Central field features a stylized symbol within a circular cartouche, likely a decorative floral or emblematic device, surrounded by bold Devanagari or local script characters arranged in the four quadrants of the field. Two pellets flank the central device horizontally. The design is rendered in the crude but bold hammered style typical of Rajput princely state coinage. |

| Reverse description | The reverse displays multi-line Nagari or regional script legends filling the entire field, arranged in horizontal registers with additional characters distributed around the periphery. The inscription likely references the ruler Lakshman Singh and the issuing state of Banswara. Scattered pellets serve as decorative separators between legend elements. The striking is characteristic of the irregular, hand-struck coinage tradition of the Rajput princely states. |
