| Obverse description | Crude hammered field bearing Mughal-style Arabic legend arranged in two registers separated by a horizontal line dividing the flan. The upper register displays stylized calligraphic characters amid decorative dot ornaments, while the lower register continues the imperial legend. The overall design follows the conventional Mughal regal formula adapted for local princely state coinage, with irregular flan edges typical of hand-struck copper issues. |

| Reverse description | Hammered copper field bearing the Mughal regnal formula in cursive Arabic script, arranged in flowing lines across the flan with scattered pellet ornaments interspersed among the legend.

The die-work is characteristic of provincial Rajput princely state coinage, displaying the rough, heavily worn surfaces typical of locally produced copper takkas of the period. |
