| Obverse description | Handwritten hundi text in Bengali script covers the face, with a manuscript notation in the upper left. An embossed stamp at upper right bears a circular blue ink impression inscribed in Bengali, English, and Urdu, reading ONE ANNA in three scripts. The document is on plain cream paper with no printed vignette or guilloche. |

| Reverse description | The reverse carries handwritten text in Bengali script, likely the continuation or endorsement of the hundi obligation, written in pale blue ink. At lower centre an embossed dry seal impression is visible, oval in form with an ornate border enclosing a coat-of-arms or official device, consistent with a British Indian stamp office or court seal. |
