Obverse description Cast tin cash-type coin featuring a central circular perforation surrounded by a raised inner ring and a flat outer rim with irregular casting marks along the edge. Four Chinese characters are arranged in the four quadrants around the central hole, reading top-to-bottom and right-to-left: 新號瑞源 (Xinhao Ruiyuan), identifying the issuing merchant house. The characters are rendered in a bold, cursive clerical style typical of Straits Settlements Chinese merchant coinage, deeply incused into the flat field.

Reverse description Completely plain and uninscribed face, featuring a central circular perforation consistent with traditional East Asian cash coinage. The flat field shows no design elements, legends, or decorative motifs, displaying only the natural surface texture of the cast tin with minor flow lines and casting irregularities visible across the flan. A raised inner ring surrounds the central hole, mirroring the structure of the obverse.
