| Obverse description | Stylized royal bust facing right, rendered in a schematic South Indian hammered tradition characteristic of early medieval Deccan coinage. The effigy displays a crowned or diademed head with simplified facial features, the design exhibiting the conventional degradation of portraiture typical of late Ganga-period silver issues. Surrounding the bust are faint traces of a border or partial legend in the field. The die work is crude but purposeful, consistent with small-denomination hammered coinage of the period. |

| Reverse description | Central field occupied by a bold Brahmi legend arranged in multiple character groups around a prominent central motif, likely a Shri symbol or royal device, rendered in raised relief. The characters, though worn and irregularly struck, are disposed in the four quadrants of the flan in a layout typical of Ganga and Rashtrakuta-affiliated silver units. Circular or annular decorative elements flank the central device at upper left and right, and additional Brahmi aksharas appear in the lower field. The overall composition is bold and schematic, consistent with the hammered coinage tradition of the southern Deccan. |
