| Obverse description | Distinctive elongated canoe-shaped or bullet-form silver flan with three impressed punch marks applied to the flat upper surface. The central punch displays a standing elephant in profile facing left, a symbol of royal authority in the Lan Xang kingdom. To the left of the elephant is a circular rosette or floral punch mark, and to the right a further decorative punch of foliate or conch-shell character. All three devices are incuse impressions stamped into the cast silver surface, consistent with Southeast Asian bullet coinage traditions of the period. |
