| Obverse description | Divided field formed by a horizontal line intersected by a vertical line, creating four quadrants, each containing Arabic-script legends in raised relief. The frozen regnal date 78 (Samvat era, corresponding to 1850 AD) appears prominently in the field. The design is characteristic of the crude hammered coinage of the Porbandar princely state, with bold but irregularly struck lettering filling the entire flan. |

| Reverse description | Divided field formed by a horizontal line bisecting the flan, with Arabic-script legends arranged in two registers separated by the central bar. The lower register contains further inscriptions in raised relief, rendered in the same crude hammered style as the obverse. The flan edges are irregular, consistent with hand-struck production typical of small princely state copper coinage of the mid-nineteenth century. |
