| Obverse description | Persian/Nastaliq script inscription filling the field, rendered in the Mughal calligraphic tradition, citing the name and titles of the Mughal emperor Shah Alam II. The legend is arranged in multiple registers across the coin's surface, with characteristic flowing script typical of late Mughal coinage struck by Maratha tributary states. Floral or foliate ornaments appear in the field as decorative elements. The inscription was struck during the local reign of Mahadji Rao Sindhia, whose authority over Narwar is implied by the issue. |

| Reverse description | Persian/Nastaliq script inscription in multiple registers occupying the full field, recording the mint name (Narwar), the regnal year (regal year of Shah Alam II), and the Hijri date. The layout follows standard late Mughal rupee conventions, with the mint and date information distributed across horizontal registers. Floral ornaments or rosettes appear as decorative devices in the field. The calligraphy is bold and characteristic of provincial Mughal-style coinage produced under Maratha suzerainty. |
