| Obverse description | Mughal-style hammered silver rupee featuring bold Arabic-script legends arranged in horizontal registers across the field, divided by raised linear borders. The central panel displays the royal inscription in stylized Nastaliq script, with a floral or foliate motif visible within a framed cartouche. The upper register contains diagonal reed or leaf striations characteristic of late Mughal coinage, while the lower register bears the continuation of the regnal legend. The overall design follows the traditional Mughal rupee format adapted for the Gwalior princely state under Daulat Rao Scindia. |

| Reverse description | Hammered silver field bearing multi-line Arabic-script inscription in Nastaliq style, arranged in flowing diagonal registers typical of late Mughal-derivative coinage. The legend occupies the majority of the flan, with cursive strokes crossing the field in characteristic Gwalior mint style. A small symbol or mint mark is visible to the lower left of the field. The inscription likely references the Hijri regnal year and mint name, consistent with Maratha-Mughal numismatic convention of the early nineteenth century. |
