| Obverse description | The obverse field is filled with three horizontal registers of bold Urdu/Persian Nasta'liq script, referencing Empress Victoria in the regal Mughal tradition adopted by the Kishangarh state. The legends, struck in high relief characteristic of hammered Indian princely coinage, invoke the imperial title and suzerainty of Empress Victoria. The flan displays the typical irregular edge and textured surface associated with hand-struck rupees of Rajputana princely states. Pellet ornaments are visible between script registers, serving as decorative dividers in the field. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents three horizontal registers of bold Nasta'liq script in high relief, incorporating references to Maharaja Madan Singh of Kishangarh along with the regnal year. A stylised jhar (floral spray or plant emblem), the dynastic symbol of Kishangarh, appears prominently within the central register as a heraldic device. Pellet ornaments punctuate the field between the script bands, consistent with the decorative conventions of Rajputana hammered coinage. The overall design follows the Mughal-derived regal format maintained by the Kishangarh mint during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. |
