| Obverse description | Heavily corroded and worn field displaying an irregular, deeply textured surface across the entire flan. Crude hammered workmanship is evident throughout, with no clearly discernible figurative or epigraphic devices surviving on this face due to advanced patination and surface degradation. The scalloped square flan perimeter is nonetheless well-defined, with evenly spaced rounded serrations along all four sides. The overall surface exhibits a thick dark cuprite patina consistent with prolonged burial. |

| Reverse description | Central field bears a small, raised device in low relief, appearing to depict a stylised zoomorphic or anthropomorphic figure — possibly a seated animal or deity — positioned centrally within the scalloped square flan. Below the central device, a short horizontal raised bar or register line is faintly visible. The surrounding field is deeply pitted and encrusted with dark corrosion products typical of excavated Southeast Asian copper coinage. The scalloped perimeter serrations are more pronounced on this face, suggesting this side received the principal die impression during hammering. |
