| Obverse description | Central field bears a stylized seated lion facing right, crowned, with mouth open, rendered in low relief within a sunken incuse circle. The flan exhibits a distinctive star-shaped or multi-pointed serrated outline formed by the removal of triangular edge sections, characteristic of Melayu Kingdom copper coinage. The design is executed in a simplified, archaic style consistent with hammered medieval Southeast Asian numismatic tradition. No legend or inscription is present on this face. |

| Additional information |
Serrated-edge copper coins of the Malay kingdoms circulating between roughly 1000 and 1350 CE occupy a poorly documented corner of Southeast Asian numismatics, and attribution to a specific polity remains contested among specialists. The weight recorded here — substantially heavier than most comparable regional issues — warrants scrutiny before accepting the cataloged figure without question.
