| Obverse description | Square hammered flan bearing a multi-line Devanagari legend arranged around a recessed central square cartouche, within which a decorative floral or geometric motif is struck in relief. The surrounding field is divided into four registers of inscription reading 'Sri Kumbhalamerum Maharana Sri Kumbhakarnasya', invoking the royal title and name of Rana Kumbha of Mewar. The legends are boldly incuse-raised in the hammered style characteristic of medieval Rajput coinage, with the text disposed on all four sides of the central device. |

| Reverse description | Square hammered flan entirely covered by three horizontal registers of Devanagari legend in bold relief, without a central cartouche. The inscription reads 'Sri Ekalinga Prasadat, Vikrama Era', invoking the grace of the presiding deity Ekalinga (Shiva), the tutelary god of the Mewar rulers, along with a reference to the Vikrama Samvat era. The script is rendered in the characteristic angular, densely packed style of 15th-century Rajput epigraphy, filling the flan to its plain edges. |
