| Obverse description | Crude hammered copper flan with an irregular, lobated border formed by a row of raised pellets. The central field displays a stylized bird or fish-like motif in low relief, flanked by scroll-like decorative elements, with two prominent raised pellets visible in the lower field. The overall design is characteristic of the rough, hand-struck coinage of the Gwalior princely state under Mahadji Rao, with a pronounced green patina of verdigris over the copper surface. |

The surface exhibits heavy green patination typical of buried or aged copper issues. |
