| Obverse description | Distinctive half-circle (semicircular) flan struck in hammered silver. The field is occupied by a dense ornamental composition in Devanagari script arranged within a decorated cartouche, surrounded by an intricate scrollwork border of stylised floral and foliate motifs. The entire design is enclosed within a raised beaded border that follows the semicircular periphery of the coin. The overall aesthetic is characteristic of late 18th-century Nepalese hammered coinage, with deeply incuse lettering and bold relief ornamentation. |

| Reverse description | Semicircular hammered silver flan displaying multi-line Devanagari inscriptions arranged in horizontal registers across the field, interspersed with a central medallion containing a stylised floral or solar motif. Decorative scroll and vine patterns frame the inscribed area, with further Devanagari characters disposed to the left and right margins. A raised ornamental border encloses the entire composition along the curved edge, consistent with the hammered die-struck technique employed at the Nepalese mint during the reign of Prithvi Narayan Shah. |
