| Obverse description | Mughal-style hammered field bearing the Persian inscription 'Bahadur Shah' in two registers, rendered in bold Nastaliq script divided by a horizontal line. The upper register contains floral and foliate ornamental devices flanking the central legend, consistent with late Mughal coinage conventions adopted by the Bundi princely state. The inscription acknowledges the nominal suzerainty of Mughal Emperor Bahadur Shah II, whose regnal name appears prominently in the field. |

| Reverse description | Hammered field bearing the distinctive Bundi state emblem comprising a stylised flowering plant or tree rising from a base, rendered in bold relief in the Mughal provincial tradition. Additional foliate and floral ornamental devices surround the central symbol in the field, with regnal year notation incorporated into the design following Bundi mint convention. The overall composition is characteristic of the issues struck under Rao Raja Bihsen Singhji acknowledging Mughal imperial authority. |
