| Obverse description | Crude Nagari inscription occupying the central field of the irregularly shaped flan, reading 'श्री' (Shri), an auspicious honorific denoting divine glory or royal benediction. The characters are rendered in a bold, archaic script style typical of early medieval Nepalese hammered coinage. The field is flat and undecorated, with the legend filling most of the available surface. Die wear and flan irregularity are consistent with hand-struck production methods of the period. |

| Reverse description | Stylized devotional or royal motif visible on the reverse field, depicted in a primitive, heavily worn manner characteristic of early medieval Nepalese hammered silver coinage. The design appears to feature abstract or zoomorphic elements, possibly a deity or auspicious symbol, rendered in low relief on an irregular flan. Surface patination and die degradation make precise identification of individual design elements difficult. The overall execution reflects the artisanal, hand-struck production techniques common to Nepalese dam coinage of the 8th through 16th centuries. |
