| Obverse description | Three lines of Devanagari script occupy the central field of this crudely struck hammered copper paisa, arranged horizontally across the flan. The legends are enclosed within a rudimentary linear border, the overall design reflecting the primitive die-cutting characteristic of Baria princely state coinage. The irregular flan and shallow relief are consistent with hand-hammered production typical of small Indian princely states of the late nineteenth century. |

| Reverse description | The reverse displays a stylized branch or floral spray motif in the central field, serving as the dynastic or issuing symbol of the Mansinhji branch of Baria state. The design is rendered in a highly schematic manner, with a crown-like element visible above the branch, accompanied by a row of pellets or annulets below. The surrounding field is plain, and the irregular flan edge is characteristic of hammered coinage from this princely issuer. |
