| Obverse description | Central square cartouche bearing Devanagari inscriptions arranged in a grid-like pattern, with additional legends filling the four cardinal panels surrounding the central frame. The entire design is enclosed within a plain inner circle and a bold outer beaded border. The Devanagari characters are rendered in a bold, angular hammered style characteristic of 17th-century Newar coinage of the Kathmandu Valley. |

| Reverse description | Central medallion containing a stylized face of the deity, likely a representation of Sri or Taleju, depicted in relief within a raised circular frame, surrounded by scrolling ornamental elements and Devanagari legends disposed in the four quadrants of the field. The composition reflects the strong Hindu iconographic tradition of the Malla dynasty, with the deity's face rendered in a frontal, schematic manner. The whole design is bounded by a prominent beaded border at the periphery. |
