Obverse description	Bullet-form pod money (Tical) of characteristic Ayutthayan manufacture, struck from a folded silver blank hammered into a compact, roughly spherical mass. The obverse face bears a deeply impressed royal countermark within a shallow oval depression, the device partially legible amid surface porosity and natural silver oxidation. The irregular, lumpy field surrounding the central punch mark retains the characteristic ridges and flow lines produced by the hammering process. No legend or inscription is present; authentication rests entirely on the form and placement of the official royal stamp. The overall fabric is consistent with the small-denomination pod money series issued under the Ayutthaya kingdom.

Reverse description	The reverse presents the smooth, convex, dome-shaped surface typical of Ayutthayan bullet coinage (Tical pod money), produced by folding and hammering a silver flan into its characteristic tortoise-back form. Two distinct indentations at the base flank a central concave channel, formed naturally during the folding and striking process, giving the underside its recognisable tri-lobed profile. The surface is unadorned, free of any countermarks, legends, or devices, and displays the natural lustre and patination of aged silver with areas of light porosity consistent with the period of manufacture. No mint mark or secondary stamp is visible on this face.
