| Obverse description | Central field displays the denomination inscribed in Gujarati script arranged in two horizontal registers, with a katar (ceremonial dagger) device positioned above the legend. A small central hole is present, characteristic of this issue. The legends are contained within a rectilinear panel, and the surfaces show the typical rough texture resulting from the overstriking process. |

| Reverse description | Heavily worn and partially obscured reverse, overstruck over an earlier host coin bearing the portrait effigy of Queen Victoria. Ghosted remnants of the Victorian portrait and surrounding legend are visible through the overstrike, confirming the use of a British Indian coin as the host flan. The surfaces are irregular and show significant distortion consistent with the counterstamping technique employed. |
