| Obverse description | Crude cast copper flan of irregular outline bearing a central device in low relief, heavily worn and showing signs of corrosion with green patina. A horseshoe-shaped or crescent-like motif is discernible in the central field, surrounded by a circular legend in Devanagari script. The overall workmanship is characteristic of the rough hand-cast coinage produced in Nepal during the nineteenth century. The surfaces exhibit extensive pitting and encrustation consistent with prolonged circulation. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a heavily corroded and worn surface on an irregularly shaped cast copper flan. A central floral or rosette-type motif is faintly visible in the field, typical of Nepalese copper coinage of this period. Surrounding devices and any peripheral legend are largely obscured by heavy corrosion, encrustation, and wear. The thick, uneven flan and rough casting marks are consistent with the hand-cast production methods employed in Nepal during the nineteenth century. |
