| Obverse description | Central round perforation surrounded by Devanagari inscription arranged in four quadrants within a plain inner circle. The legend reads 'श्री श्री श्री पृथ्वी वीर विक्रम', invoking the royal title and name of King Prithvi Bir Bikram Shah. The design is enclosed within a dotted beaded border, characteristic of Nepalese hammered emergency token coinage. The flat, unadorned field and crude strike reflect the utilitarian nature of this issue. Overall style is consistent with late 19th-century Nepalese token production. |

| Reverse description | Central round perforation with the denomination '१४' (14) inscribed above in large Devanagari numerals and the word 'पैसा' (Paisa) below, both within a plain flat field. The layout is simple and functional, with the two-line denomination inscription divided by the central hole. The absence of a border or decorative element emphasizes the emergency token character of the piece. The surface shows the typical uneven texture of hammered iron coinage. The reverse design communicates the face value directly and without artistic embellishment. |
