| Obverse description | Stylized humped bull standing to the right occupying the lower field, with a horseman depicted above in schematic form; the design is rendered in a highly abstracted, degenerate style typical of late medieval Indian hammered copper jitals, with bold raised lines defining the figures against a flat field. The flan is irregular and slightly off-round, consistent with hand-struck production. Traces of Sharada or Devanagari script characters may appear in the margins. |

| Reverse description | Reverse displaying a highly stylized and degenerate inscription or floral device rendered in schematic strokes, consistent with the degraded epigraphic tradition of Kangra Kingdom copper jitals of the medieval period. The design occupies the central field with bold, deeply struck raised lines against a rough flan surface. The overall execution reflects the characteristic crude workmanship of hammered circulation coinage from the Kangra hill state series. |
