| Obverse description | Elongated boat-shaped or canoe-shaped cast bronze piece, convex on the upper face with a raised central ridge running longitudinally along the full length of the piece. The surface is plain and unadorned, exhibiting a smooth, slightly curved profile that tapers to rounded points at both ends. The patina is a deep olive-brown to dark green, consistent with aged bronze. No inscriptions, legends, or devices are present on this face. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a similarly elongated boat-shaped profile, slightly flatter than the obverse, with a gently convex surface tapering symmetrically to both extremities. The cast surface is entirely plain, bearing no inscriptions, symbols, or decorative elements. The surface shows natural casting texture with minor porosity and patination typical of aged copper-alloy currency bars. The overall form is consistent with Lao bullet or bar money of the Luang Prabang period. |
