| Obverse description | Central field features a stylized leaf motif flanked by branch-like elements, rendered in a crude, bold style characteristic of locally struck imitative coinage. A blundered Gurmukhi legend surrounds the central device, the characters degraded and partially illegible, reflecting the imitative nature of the issue. The overall design is coarsely executed with irregular flan and uneven relief. |

| Reverse description | Central field displays a large, prominently raised scrolling or paisley-like floral device, rendered in a bold and somewhat crude style typical of provincial imitative issues. Surrounding the central motif is a partial and blundered legend in cursive script, heavily degraded and arranged around the periphery of the flan. The die work is irregular, with weak striking visible at the edges, consistent with hand-struck copper coinage of the period. |
