| Obverse description | Hammered silver flan bearing a three-line Persian legend in Naskh script occupying the central field, reading the royal titles of Mughal Emperor Shah Alam II. The inscription, rendered in bold relief, is enclosed within a plain linear border following the circular outline of the coin. The lettering style is characteristic of late Mughal provincial coinage, with fluid calligraphic strokes typical of the period. No additional decorative elements or mint marks are present on this face. |

| Reverse description | Hammered silver reverse displaying a four-line Persian legend in Naskh script across the field, recording the regnal year (sanah julus), the mint name Mahe Indrapur, the Hijri year, and the regnal year number. The inscription is struck in bold, slightly uneven relief characteristic of hand-hammered provincial Mughal coinage. A plain linear border follows the coin's edge. The calligraphic execution is consistent with Bharatpur state issues struck in the name of Shah Alam II during the late eighteenth century. |
