| Obverse description | Central field dominated by a stylized leaf motif rendered in high relief, with a frozen (frozen-date) Vikram Samvat date VS 1885 inscribed in Persian script. The design is enclosed within a beaded border, with floral and foliate ornamental elements characteristic of Sikh coinage of the Amritsar mint. The overall composition reflects the traditional Mughal-derived artistic style adapted under Sikh imperial patronage. |

| Reverse description | Central field bearing a Chhatra (royal umbrella) as the principal device, flanked by beaded floral rosettes and decorative foliate sprays in relief. The Vikram Samvat regnal date appears within the design, rendered in Persian script. A beaded outer border frames the entire composition, consistent with the Amritsar mint style under Maharaja Duleep Singh. The relief work shows the characteristic dense ornamentation of late Sikh Empire coinage. |
