Obverse description Four lines of Burmese script inscription arranged around a central circular perforation, filling the entire field. The legend is rendered in raised relief in the Mon-Burmese script tradition and is contained within a denticled outer border. The characters are boldly struck and occupy the upper, middle, and lower registers of the coin face, with the central hole serving as a focal point dividing the text.
