| Obverse description | Stylized leaf or floral motif rendered in low relief, occupying the central field of the flan. The design features a broad, spreading form suggestive of a lobed leaf or flower, executed in the crude, informal style characteristic of hammered Kashmir paisa coinage of the Sikh period. Scattered pellet ornaments and rough die-cut details appear in the surrounding field, with partial Devanagari or Persian legend fragments visible near the upper rim. |

| Reverse description | Central field bearing bold Persian or Nastaliq script legend disposed across the flan in multiple lines, with a prominent horizontal cartouche or bar dividing the upper and lower registers. A small rosette or star ornament is visible in the lower left field. The inscription, partially legible due to the irregular flan and crude hammered strike, likely references the mint name Kashmir and the regnal authority, consistent with Sikh-period Kashmir copper coinage. The overall execution is informal, with legends often running off the irregular flan edge. |
