| Obverse description | The obverse bears a dense field of Nastaliq calligraphy arranged in multiple horizontal registers divided by ruled lines, presenting the regal titles and epithets of the ruler in the Mughal documentary tradition. The legends, executed in bold relief typical of Indian princely state hammered coinage, reference the name and titles of George V as suzerain overlord in the regal style. The irregular flan and characteristic surface texture reflect the hand-struck Nazarana production technique employed at the Kishangarh mint. Dotted ornamental devices punctuate the field between the registers. The overall composition follows the Mughal-derived format standard among Rajputana princely state issues of the early twentieth century. |

| Reverse description | The reverse likewise displays multiple horizontal registers of Nastaliq script in bold raised relief, containing the name and titles of Yagya Narayan Singh, ruler of Kishangarh, in the conventional Mughal regal formula. The field is organised by incised ruled lines separating the inscription bands, with decorative dot clusters punctuating the margins in a manner consistent with Rajputana princely hammered rupees. A representation of the Jhar flower device, the dynastic emblem of Kishangarh, is incorporated within the design as an identifying mark of the issuing state. The flan is irregular and slightly broader than a standard milled rupee, consistent with the Nazarana presentation-issue format. The workmanship reflects the hand-engraved die tradition of the Kishangarh mint active during the reign of Yagya Narayan Singh. |
