| Obverse description | A hare depicted in profile facing left occupies the central field, rendered in a stylized, low-relief manner characteristic of Burmese cast coinage of the Konbaung period. The animal is shown in a seated or crouching posture with elongated ears clearly defined above the body. A circular border of pellets or dots surrounds the central device, and faint Burmese script inscriptions appear in the lower field beneath the hare. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features a multi-line inscription in Burmese script centered in the field, denoting the denomination and regnal or administrative authority. The legend is framed by two symmetrical foliate or floral branches extending from the lower field upward along both sides, forming a wreath-like border. The overall composition is typical of the cast lead coinage issued under the Konbaung dynasty for local circulation in Lower Burma. |
