| Beschrijving voorzijde | Crude hammered field displaying a boldly incuse Nagari legend occupying the majority of the coin's surface. The inscription is rendered in a primitive, artisanal style characteristic of small Indian princely state issues of the late nineteenth century. The flan is irregular and notably thick, with an uneven, roughly finished edge typical of hand-struck copper coinage of the period. The field shows considerable granularity and surface porosity consistent with a cast or crudely struck planchet. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Plain, essentially blank reverse with a deeply concave field, the result of the hammered striking method transferring metal to the obverse die. The surface is heavily textured with irregular flow lines and pitting across the field, with no discernible legend or device. The rim is uneven and irregular throughout, consistent with the artisanal production methods employed by the Sailana princely state mint. |

Sailana was among the smallest princely states in Central India, covering barely 300 square miles in what is now Madhya Pradesh. Its coinage authorization was perpetually disputed — the state's right to strike copper fell into a grey zone under the paramountcy arrangements that governed smaller feudatories, which may explain why this particular piece never made it into standard references. Unlisted types from Sailana are not unusual; the state's dies were cut locally with inconsistent quality control, and issues appear to have been struck in small batches against immediate local demand rather than any planned monetary program.
