| Obverse description | The field is occupied by a multi-line Persian legend struck in the name of the Mughal emperor Shah Alam II, with the words 'Alam' and 'Badshah' positioned flanking the distinctive mintmark of the Chhatarpur mint: a large, stalked sunflower rendered in stylised relief. Subsidiary decorative elements include a narrow leaf with a droplet and a plant bearing five heads on a single stem with two flanking leaves, though in certain die varieties a trident substitutes for the latter motif. The Hijri date AH 1190 appears in Arabic numerals within the field, with the numeral 9 rendered in retrograde form, a characteristic feature of this issue. |

| Reverse description | The field carries a multi-line Persian legend arranged in horizontal registers, with the regnal year (RY) 18 of Shah Alam II rendered in Arabic numerals at the designated position within the text. From RY 18 onward, the date was repositioned to the centre of the bottom line of the legend, a stylistic convention introduced during the reign of local ruler Hindupat Singh (1758–1777). The mint name 'shahr Chhatarpur' appears along the lower portion of the legend, explicitly identifying this coin as a product of the Chhatarpur mint of Panna state. |
