| Obverse description | Highly stylized, schematic representation of the goddess Lakshmi seated in frontal posture, rendered in the abstract medieval South Asian tradition characteristic of Yadava coinage. The central motif comprises a series of bold raised pellets and curved elements suggesting the deity's torso, limbs, and headdress, with a prominent circular arc above evoking a nimbus or parasol. Diagonal strokes radiating toward the coin's periphery represent the lotus throne (padmasana) upon which the goddess is enthroned. The overall composition fills the irregular flan, with the design executed in high relief against a plain field. |

| Reverse description | The reverse bears a bold Devanagari legend inscribed in large, deeply struck characters occupying the majority of the flan, recording the name and title of the issuing ruler. The inscription is arranged in multiple lines filling the field, with the royal name rendered in the square-headed Devanagari script typical of medieval Deccan epigraphy. The lettering is raised in high relief against a plain field, with no additional decorative elements or border. |
