Obverse description	Four-line inscription in Assamese script occupying the central field, arranged horizontally across the octagonal flan. A bird depicted in a preening posture appears in the lower left of the field, accompanied by a plant stalk motif beside it. The legends are rendered in the characteristic bold, rounded strokes of the Assamese script tradition. The outer border is defined by the irregular octagonal edge of the hammered flan.

Reverse description	Four-line inscription in Assamese script filling the central field of the octagonal flan, mirroring the layout of the obverse. A bird motif is positioned in the lower left corner of the field. The legends are struck in the bold, cursive style typical of Ahom Kingdom coinage of the late seventeenth century. The hammered flan gives the reverse an irregular but distinctly octagonal outline.
