| Obverse description | Central field dominated by a bold Nagari legend rendered in a stylized, somewhat crude hammered manner characteristic of Mewar copper coinage. A circular pellet ornament appears in the lower left field, and a cluster of raised pellets is visible to the right of the principal device. The design is contained within a plain raised rim, with the overall execution reflecting the informal workshop traditions of the Bhilwara mint. |

| Reverse description | Obverse displays a large, stylized floral or foliate motif composed of raised pellets arranged in a cluster at center, flanked by a horizontal dividing line bisecting the field. Above and below the line, Nagari inscriptions in a bold, irregular hand identify the issuer and denomination, consistent with Mewar princely state copper coinage struck at Bhilwara under the nominal suzerainty of Mughal emperor Shah Alam II. The overall design is characteristic of hammered issues from this mint, with rough flan edges and uneven relief. |
