| Obverse description | Broad flan bearing the Mughal imperial legend in cursive Nastaliq script across two registers within the field. The upper register carries the royal epithet 'Sikka-e-Mubarak' and the lower register bears the regnal title 'Shah Alam Badshah Ghazi'. A small Devanagari inscription reading 'Shri' (श्री) and 'Ti' (ती) appears as a feudatory countermark or additional legend, identifying the Uniara state authority. The script is boldly struck with characteristic uneven surfaces typical of hand-struck rupees of this period. No border or inner circle is present; the legend fills the entire field. |

| Reverse description | The reverse displays the mint and regnal year formula in Nastaliq script arranged across multiple lines within the field. The legend records the mint name 'Zarb Sawai Jaipur' (struck at Sawai Jaipur, a pseudo-mint used by the Uniara feudatory) alongside the phrase 'Sanah Julus Maimanat Manus', denoting the regnal year of auspicious accession. A floral or rosette ornament is visible to the left of the field, a common decorative device on Mughal-style feudatory rupees. The strike is characteristic of hand-hammered coinage with slightly irregular flan edges. The legends are consistent with issues struck in the name of Mughal Emperor Shah Alam II. |
