| Obverse description | Central field occupied by a bold Arabic inscription reading the royal legend, with the AH date incorporated into the design. A stylized floral motif and a trident-like symbol appear within or flanking the inscription. The legends are rendered in flowing Nastaliq script, characteristic of Mughal-derived coinage of the Rajput princely states. The overall composition fills the flan without a formal border, typical of hammered rupees of this period. |

| Reverse description | Central field bears a bold Arabic inscription in Nastaliq script incorporating the regnal year (RY) date and the mint name Bikanir. A flag symbol and a small circle with a central dot appear as subsidiary mint or issuer marks within the field. The inscription records the zarb (struck at) formula standard on Mughal-tradition rupees. The flan is irregular and the design extends to the coin's edge without a formal rim, consistent with hand-struck production. |
