| Obverse description | Central square perforation surrounded by four Chinese characters in seal script (zhuanshu), arranged in clockwise reading order around the void: 景 (top), 元 (right), 寶 (bottom), 祐 (left), forming the legend Jingyou Yuanbao. The characters are rendered in low relief against a plain, flat field with no inner or outer rim rims visible, consistent with the simplified casting technique employed in local Malay peninsula tin imitations of Northern Song prototypes. The overall die work is somewhat crude relative to the Chinese originals, reflecting provincial manufacture. |

| Reverse description | Plain, featureless field surrounding a central square perforation, with no inscriptions, symbols, or decorative elements present. The surface shows the characteristic granular texture of cast tin, with minor casting irregularities and natural oxidation patina consistent with age and local burial conditions. |
