| Obverse description | Central field depicts a bull standing in profile to the right, rendered in a stylised, archaic manner characteristic of early medieval Deccan coinage. The animal is shown with prominent hump and tail curled upward, surrounded by a rough beaded or rope border encircling the coin's periphery. The overall fabric is irregular, with a somewhat convex flan typical of hammered copper issues of the period. |

| Reverse description | The reverse displays a worn and partially legible design, with what appears to be a seated or standing human figure, possibly a deity or royal personage, rendered in a crude, schematic style consistent with Vishnukundin copper issues. The field is flat and shows signs of significant wear and corrosion, obscuring finer details. The periphery retains traces of a border, and scattered traces of a Brahmi legend may be present, though largely indistinct. |
