| Obverse description | Central field bearing a stylised leaf or floral device enclosed within a large crescent-shaped cartouche, the whole rendered in bold relief characteristic of the hammered coinage of the Jammu and Kashmir princely mint. A diagonal stroke or banner element extends across the upper right of the field. The flan is irregular in outline, with a slightly raised rim, and the design shows typical striking weakness at the periphery consistent with hand-struck copper issues of this series. |

| Reverse description | The reverse displays bold Devanagari or Dogri script characters arranged in two registers across the central field, reading the mint name and regnal designation of Maharaja Ranbir Singh. Small pellet ornaments are scattered between and around the characters, serving as decorative separators. A horizontal line divides the lower register from the field above. The irregular flan and characteristic heavy striking relief are consistent with the hand-struck copper paisa coinage of the Jammu mint during Ranbir Singh's reign. |
