| Obverse description | Irregular square hammered copper flan displaying a central crowned symbol or royal emblem enclosed within a square frame in the field. Surrounding the central device, inscriptions in Arabic or Nagari script appear in the margins and field areas. The overall style is characteristic of the crude hammered coinage of the Indian princely states of the late 19th century, with irregular flan edges and uneven strike. The coin exhibits a green patina consistent with aged copper. |

| Reverse description | Irregular square reverse with hammered relief showing Nagari script legends distributed across the field, reading the ruler's name and title. The inscription is arranged in multiple lines across the flan, typical of princely state issues of this period. The strike is uneven with weak areas at the irregular flan edges. A distinctive green copper patina covers the surface, and the script is rendered in the bold, somewhat crude style associated with the Lunavada State Mint's hammered coinage. |
