| Obverse description | Stylized bull shown in profile to the left occupying the lower portion of the field, rendered in the schematic, highly abstracted manner characteristic of medieval Indian hammered coinage. To the upper right, a mounted horseman is depicted in a similarly stylized fashion, the figure shown riding to the right with a curved form suggesting the horse's body beneath. The design fills the flan with minimal border treatment, consistent with the Bull and Horseman type associated with the Kangra hill kingdom series. |

| Reverse description | Deeply struck but heavily worn field displaying a large, stylized zoomorphic or figural motif, likely a bull or similar device rendered in broad, bold relief characteristic of hammered hill-state jitals. The design is executed in a highly schematic manner with thick, curvilinear lines dominating the flan surface. No legible inscription or legend is discernible; the flan edges are irregular and the surface retains a dark olive-green patina consistent with prolonged circulation. |
