| Obverse description | Humped bull (Nandi) standing to right within a beaded border, with a crescent symbol above the bull's back in the upper field. The flan is irregular, typical of the hammered coinage of the Licchavi period. The bull is rendered in a bold, stylized manner characteristic of early Nepalese copper issues. |

| Reverse description | Nagari legend arranged within a prominent dotted or pellet border, with the sacred epithet of Pashupati (lord of animals, a form of Shiva) rendered in early Nagari script. Individual letter characters are distributed across the reverse field, partially worn and difficult to read in full, consistent with the heavily circulated state typical of Licchavi copper units. The pellet border is clearly visible around the periphery. |
