| Obverse description | Convex upper surface of a hand-hammered silver bullet (pod duang) coin bearing the royal chopmark of King Rama III, known as the Luk Sorn mark. The chopmark is struck into a recessed circular depression at the center of the domed surface and depicts a stylized floral or flame-like device characteristic of the Luk Sorn (diamond pattern) royal seal. The surrounding field is smooth and naturally rounded, reflecting the hand-formed and hammered production technique typical of Siamese bullet coinage of the Rattanakosin period. |

| Reverse description | Concave underside of the bullet coin, exhibiting the characteristic bifurcated fold and seam formed during the hand-hammering process, whereby a rod of silver was bent upon itself and the ends fused together. The surface displays two symmetrical lobes divided by a central longitudinal crease, a defining feature of all Siamese pod duang bullet coinage. The field is unadorned, with natural surface irregularities consistent with hand-production methods of the Rattanakosin period. |
