| Obverse description | Within a beaded border, a central circular cartouche contains a two-line Burmese script legend rendered in the Myanmar script, occupying the majority of the coin's field. The inscription is arranged horizontally across the center within a plain inner circle, with the characters boldly struck despite the irregular flan typical of this issue. |

| Reverse description | Two fish depicted in the upper central field, a traditional Burmese royal symbol associated with the Konbaung dynasty. The fish motif is rendered in low relief, facing inward, against a plain field. The overall strike is characteristic of the irregular, somewhat crude production typical of early Burmese copper coinage of this period. |
