| Obverse description | Central device depicting the Hamsa bird (sacred goose of Hindu-Buddhist tradition) in profile facing left, rendered in low relief with stylized plumage and outstretched wing. The bird stands upon a decorative foliate base, with a serpentine or floral element rising to the left. The design occupies the full field of the flan with no surrounding legend, in a naive but symbolically rich engraving style characteristic of mid-19th century Cambodian coinage. |

| Reverse description | Blank reverse with no devices, legends, or inscriptions. The flat field shows only the natural texture and patina of the billon flan, consistent with the intentional blank-reverse design of this type as catalogued under KM#32. |
