| Obverse description | Hammered silver flan bearing a multi-line Persian/Nastaliq legend in the field, reading 'Victoria Luglistan' (Victoria, Queen of England), struck in the regal Mughal style. The inscription is arranged in flowing Nastaliq script across the coin's face, divided by horizontal lines characteristic of Mughal-derived coinage. The legend occupies virtually the entire obverse field, with no portrait or pictorial device, consistent with the Indo-Persian numismatic tradition observed in Rajputana princely state coinage of the mid-19th century. |

| Reverse description | Hammered silver flan bearing a multi-line Persian/Nastaliq legend in the field referencing the local ruler Prithvi Singh, struck in the Mughal regal style typical of Rajputana princely state issues. A jhar (floral spray or thistle-like ornamental device) is incorporated into the design as a dynastic symbol of the Kishangarh state. The inscription is arranged in flowing Nastaliq script divided by horizontal lines, filling the reverse field, with no additional pictorial border or rim decoration beyond the irregular hammered edge. |
