| Obverse description | Rectangular silver flan with a continuous border of raised pellets encircling the entire field. Two large Chinese characters in kaisho (block) script are struck in high relief at center, reading vertically: 但 (upper) and 馬 (lower), together forming the provincial name 'Tajima.' The hammered field exhibits characteristically irregular texture consistent with hand-worked Edo-period provincial silver coinage. |

The hammered surface displays the irregular texture typical of hand-produced Edo-period provincial coinage, with the bold characters dominating the field. |
