Beschrijving voorzijde Central field displays a sacred Vaishnava device composed of the Shankha (conch shell) to the left and the Chakra (discus) to the right, flanked by subsidiary devotional symbols. A crescent or arch-shaped motif occupies the upper field above the central devices. The composition is rendered in low relief typical of cast copper coinage, with the design enclosed within a beaded border running along the coin's periphery. The overall iconographic program reflects the strong Vaishnava religious orientation of the Vijayanagara rulers.

Beschrijving keerzijde The reverse bears a two-line inscription in Kannada/Grantha script rendered in bold, deeply cast characters occupying the central field. The legend reads 'mala / raja', representing a partial rendering of the issuing ruler's name and title, characteristic of the abbreviated epigraphic convention used on small-denomination Vijayanagara copper kasu. The inscription is enclosed within a prominent beaded border, consistent with the obverse treatment. The lettering is arranged horizontally across the flan in two registers, with the script showing the angular and rounded forms typical of late medieval South Indian lapidary tradition.
