| Obverse description | Elongated fusiform (boat- or spindle-shaped) cast billon currency bar, tapering to rounded points at both ends and thickest at the centre. The convex upper surface displays a characteristic rough, pitted texture produced during casting, with scattered raised nodules, irregular flow lines, and bubble-like protrusions distributed across the entire field. No legends, devices, or inscriptions are present; authenticity and denomination were conveyed solely by weight and form. |

| Reverse description | Flat to gently convex reverse surface, smoother in finish than the obverse but retaining the natural surface irregularities inherent to the primitive casting process, including scattered pitting and minor surface encrustations. The reverse tapers symmetrically to match the fusiform profile of the obverse, with no applied devices, legends, or mint marks. Traces of mineral patination, including violet-blue cuprite deposits, are visible across the field, consistent with long-term burial or circulation wear. |
