| Obverse description | Central device depicting a rising sun motif with radiating rays — either four or five in number depending on variety — rising above a horizontal baseline or ground line, rendered in low relief. The sun and rays are enclosed within a plain inner circle, itself surrounded by a broad border of evenly spaced raised pellets arranged around the full circumference of the flan. The overall composition is bold and stylized, characteristic of Pyu coinage from the Halin city-state, with no inscriptions or legends present in the field. |

| Reverse description | Central field bearing a humped bull (Zebu) depicted in profile facing left, rendered in a fluid, stylized manner consistent with Pyu artistic conventions of the early medieval period. The animal's body is delineated by sweeping curved lines with a prominent dorsal hump and scattered pellet ornaments distributed across the field. The design is enclosed within a linear inner border, with additional decorative linear elements near the periphery of the irregular flan. No inscriptions or legends are present. |
