| Obverse description | Central field depicts a standing figure of Garuda, the mythical bird-deity of Khmer iconography, rendered in high relief in a dynamic martial posture with both arms raised and wings spread, wearing traditional Khmer regalia and a pointed crown. Decorative floral and foliate scroll elements flank the figure on either side, filling the field. The entire design is enclosed within a beaded border running along the coin's periphery. The style reflects the traditional Khmer artistic convention employed on Cambodian royal coinage of the mid-to-late nineteenth century. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features a multi-line Khmer script inscription arranged in three to four lines across the central field, denoting the denomination and royal authority, framed by a laurel or olive wreath tied at the base with a ribbon bow. The wreath branches extend upward along both sides of the inscription, converging at the top. The entire design is contained within a beaded border consistent with the obverse. The script is rendered in the classical Khmer alphabet characteristic of official Cambodian royal documents and coinage of the Norodom I period. |
