| Obverse description | Crude hammered flan displaying Persian or Nagari script legends in the field, struck with characteristic irregularity typical of Jaipur mint copper coinage of the mid-18th century. The legends, arranged in multiple lines across the flan, are heavily worn and partially legible, rendered in a cursive hand consistent with Mughal-influenced provincial coinage. The surfaces display an attractive patina of green cuprite and brown oxidation, consistent with age and circulation. The flan edges are irregular and clipped, a common feature of hand-struck copper paisas of this period. |

| Reverse description | The reverse bears multi-line Persian or Nagari script legends referencing the Sawai Jaipur mint, struck on an irregularly shaped hammered copper flan. The inscription occupies most of the field and is characteristic of Jaipur copper coinage struck in the name of the Mughal emperor Alamgir II. The surfaces are covered with green patination interspersed with areas of brown copper, indicating genuine age and circulation. The overall style reflects the typical crude workmanship of provincial copper coinage produced at the Sawai Jaipur mint during the mid-18th century. |
