| Obverse description | Roughly rectangular cast copper flan displaying a standing animal figure, most likely a bull or elephant, rendered in low relief in the characteristic archaic style of early Ujjain coinage. The figure occupies the central field, with the surface exhibiting heavy patination and encrustation consistent with extended burial. The artistic execution is bold but schematic, typical of cast punch-marked and early cast coinage from the Malwa region of central India. No inscriptions or legends are present. |

| Reverse description | Plain reverse with a series of small punched or raised globular marks arranged along the left margin of the roughly rectangular flan, a feature commonly associated with Ujjain-type cast copper coinage of the early historic period. The remainder of the field is largely flat and undecorated, covered with dark green and brown patination. The surface texture is irregular, reflecting the crude casting technology employed. No legend or inscription is present. |
