| Obverse description | Central field features a stylized lotus flower depicted in low relief, with six petals radiating symmetrically outward from a circular center, enclosed within a raised circular border. The petals are rendered in a bold, angular style characteristic of early medieval Indian coin engraving. The design occupies most of the flan, with the lotus motif boldly struck despite the irregular planchet. No legend or inscription is present. |

| Reverse description | Reverse is entirely blank, presenting a plain, featureless field with no design, inscription, or decorative element. The surface shows the natural texture of the cast and hammered potin planchet, with minor irregularities consistent with the crude production methods of the period. A small area of surface discoloration is visible near the upper edge of the flan. |
