| Obverse description | The obverse bears a multi-line Persian inscription filling the field, arranged in three registers separated by a horizontal line across the centre of the coin. The Latin initials 'JHS' (for Jammu and Hazara State) appear prominently in the lower portion of the field, below the dividing line. The regnal year in Eastern Arabic numerals is incorporated within the legend. The overall design is typographic with no figurative elements, consistent with the Mughal-influenced coinage tradition of the Princely States. |

| Reverse description | The reverse displays a multi-line inscription in Takari script, the traditional script of the Jammu region, filling the entire field in a dense arrangement of several lines. The legend records the denomination and issuing authority in the local Dogri-Takari tradition. The script characters are boldly struck and occupy virtually the entire flan, with no border or decorative elements, in the characteristic style of Jammu and Kashmir Princely State copper coinage. |
