| Obverse description | Multiple punch-marked symbols applied to the flat flan, featuring a bird perched atop a railing or architectural element in the upper field, accompanied by three standing deity figures arranged in a row across the lower register. The symbols are incuse, struck with characteristic punch-mark technique typical of post-Mauryan silver coinage from the Ujjain region. The field shows the irregular, slightly convex surface common to hand-struck karshapana flans of this period. The overall composition reflects the regional iconographic tradition blending aniconic and early figural religious symbolism. |

| Reverse description | Plain flat surface bearing a single incuse counter-mark in the left field, depicting a bird perched upon a railing — an Ujjain regional symbol consistent with local dynastic or merchant validation practice. The counter-mark is deeply and cleanly struck into the otherwise unadorned reverse, confirming re-authorization or re-circulation of the piece. The surrounding field is plain and undecorated, typical of punch-marked karshapana reverses of this era. |
