| Obverse description | Central field occupied by a bold Devanagari inscription reading 'चांदी' (meaning 'silver'), rendered in large raised characters across the flan in the traditional hammered style characteristic of Rajput princely coinage. A small raised dot or pellet appears above the first character of the legend, serving as a mint or die variety differentiator. The flat, irregular flan displays the typical granular surface texture of hand-struck silver coinage, with no border ornamentation or additional decorative elements. |

| Reverse description | The reverse bears a multi-line Persian-script legend in the traditional Mughal-derived style, referencing the ruler Yagya Narayan Singh, densely filling the field with flowing nastaliq characters across horizontal registers. A stylised floral device, identified as the Jhar flower — an emblem associated with the Kishangarh state — appears integrated among the inscriptions. The hammered flan exhibits pronounced die-strike irregularities consistent with nazarana presentation coinage, with no formal border or rim treatment. The overall composition reflects the Indo-Mughal calligraphic tradition common to Rajputana princely states of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. |
