| Obverse description | Devanagari legend arranged in two horizontal lines across the field, divided by a bold horizontal bar characteristic of nagari manuscript style. The partially legible inscription reads '[Mu]lak [Chan]da' in the upper register, with the regnal year notation 'Sa 12' visible in the lower register. The script is rendered in a bold, angular hand typical of central Indian regal issues of the period. Portions of the legend are weakly struck or worn, consistent with hammered copper coinage of the Gond rulers. |

| Reverse description | Central field occupied by a bold, stylised floral or vegetal cartouche rendered in a highly schematic manner, with interlocking scrollwork and a prominent central device that may represent a floral spray or dynastic emblem. The design is enclosed within a roughly circular border. The execution is typical of hammered copper coinage of the Gond chieftains, displaying a somewhat crude but vigorous artistic hand. The field surrounding the central device shows additional decorative elements partially visible near the periphery. |
