| Obverse description | Two crowned standing figures in high relief occupy the field, identified as Lord Ram and his brother Lakshman, each bearing a bow slung from the shoulder; a corrupt Nagari legend encircles the device reading 'Ram Lakshman Janaki Jai Bolo Hanuman Ki', invoking the names of Ram, Lakshman, Sita, and Hanuman. The date 1740 appears in the exergue below the figures, all within a beaded border. |

The composition is enclosed within a beaded border with no legend. |
