| Obverse description | Stylized bull standing to the right in the central field, rendered in a bold, archaic manner characteristic of Shahi coinage. The animal's prominent hump and curved horns are clearly delineated. A decorative border of pellets or short radial lines encircles the design. The overall style reflects the regional artistic traditions of the northwestern Indian subcontinent during the early medieval period. |

| Reverse description | Central field occupied by a stylized equestrian figure or abstract symbol, rendered in the crude but vigorous hammered style typical of Shahi jitals. Nagari legends are distributed around the periphery of the flan, partially visible due to the irregular planchet. The reverse design is characteristic of the Spalapati Deva issues attributed to the Shahis of Ohind, with flat, broad relief and irregular striking surfaces consistent with hand-hammered production. |
