| Reverse description | A schematic elephant depicted in profile occupies the upper portion of the field within an oval or cartouche-like border, rendered in a crude but recognizable punch-marked style. Below and to the left, a bow and arrow symbol is struck into the field, a device commonly associated with early Bundelkhand regional issues. The surface is heavily worn and the flan edges are irregular, consistent with the hammered copper coinage of this region. No inscription or legend is present. |

| Additional information |
Bundelkhand copper units of this type circulate among collectors without firm attribution more often than not — the region produced a dense, overlapping series of cast and struck issues across numerous local dynasties and chieftains, many of whom left no textual record whatsoever. Sorting them by weight, fabric, and die style remains the only practical approach, and even specialists disagree on where many pieces belong.
