| Obverse description | Stylized representation of a star or floral motif rendered in low relief on a roughly circular flan, characteristic of Hoysala hammered coinage. The central device features a pattern of pellets or granules arranged in a rosette or stellate formation, surrounded by an arched or crescent-shaped border element in the upper field. The design is executed in the typical schematic artistic tradition of medieval South Indian regal coinage, with an irregular flan edge consistent with hand-struck production. |

| Reverse description | Kannada or Grantha script legend occupying the majority of the reverse field, enclosed within a rectangular or panel-like border, a common device arrangement on Hoysala tara coinage. The inscription, rendered in bold angular characters, records the royal name or denomination in the regional script tradition of the Deccan. Below the main legend panel, additional script characters are visible, consistent with numerals or epithets denoting the issuing authority. The overall composition is compact and fills the small flan, with the lettering exhibiting the characteristic style of 13th–14th century South Indian epigraphy. |
