| Obverse description | Diademed bust of king Yolamira facing right, rendered in a somewhat crude provincial style typical of the Paratarajas series. The hair is depicted with loose locks falling behind the neck, and the diadem is visible across the forehead. The bust is undraped or lightly draped at the shoulder. A dotted border frames the design, partially visible around the irregular flan. |

| Reverse description | A bold, centrally placed swastika with arms of equal length dominates the field, serving as the principal decorative and symbolic motif. The swastika arms terminate cleanly and the design is well-struck for the series. A Brahmi legend in retrograde characters encircles the swastika, reading the royal titulature of Yolamira around the periphery of the coin. |
