| Obverse description | Central field displays a stylized lion passant to the left in low relief, rendered in the traditional Newar artistic style. The central motif is enclosed within a multi-petalled floral or lotus border composed of curved, interlocking petal forms. Nepalese Devanagari legends fill the spaces between the petals, with additional inscription bands occupying the surrounding annular field. The entire design is contained within a beaded or dentilated outer rim characteristic of Patan Kingdom silver mohars. |

The surrounding field carries additional devotional or royal inscriptions arranged in a circular fashion, all enclosed by a beaded outer border consistent with hammered silver coinage of the Patan Kingdom. |
