| Obverse description | Impressed into the flattened upper surface of the gold bullet-form flan, the Mongkut (royal crown), the royal symbol of King Rama IV (Phra Chom Klao Chaoyuhua), struck in intaglio relief. The crown device appears within a recessed oval cartouche, characteristic of Thai bullet coinage of the period. The surrounding field retains the natural rounded contour of the hammered flan. |

| Reverse description | Impressed into the opposite flattened surface of the gold bullet flan, the Chakra (sacred discus-wheel), the ancient symbol of the Chakri dynasty, rendered in intaglio relief within a recessed oval cartouche. The Chakra is depicted as a circular wheel with a central boss, consistent with standard royal symbolism employed on Thai bullet coinage of the mid-nineteenth century. A secondary device, possibly a floral or trisula mark, appears below the Chakra within the same impression. |
