| Obverse description | Bullet-form silver pod duang with a deeply impressed trident (Trishula) mark stamped into the flattened inner face of the folded silver rod, enclosed within an ogival cartouche. The Trishula symbol, associated with the reign of King Taksin, is rendered in low relief with three upward-pointing prongs. The overall surface displays the characteristic irregular, rounded convex form produced by the hammered bullet coinage technique. |

| Reverse description | The convex outer surface of the bullet coin bears a single stamped Chakra (wheel or rose-like circular motif) in the center of the field, characteristic of Siamese royal symbolism. The Chakra is rendered as a concentric circular device with radiating elements, impressed into the rounded silver mass. The surface retains the uneven, hammered texture typical of Thai pod duang coinage of the late 18th century. |
