| Descrição do anverso |
Central field features a stylized solar or floral motif rendered in low relief, consisting of a central raised pellet or globe surrounded by radiating curved elements and scroll-like projections arranged symmetrically, evoking either a sun or an abstracted crab design. The device is struck on an irregular, somewhat flan with a characteristically rough and granular surface texture typical of hammered billon coinage. No inscription or legend is present. The overall style reflects the archaic artistic conventions of Khmer monetary production during the late post-Angkorian period. |

| Descrição do reverso |
Plain, unadorned reverse exhibiting a flat, granular field with no deliberate design elements, legends, or devices. The surface displays the natural texture of the hammered billon flan, consistent with the rudimentary striking technique employed for small-denomination Cambodian coinage of this period. Slight irregularities in the flan edge are visible, reflecting the hand-crafted nature of production. |

These tiny billon pieces circulated during the period when the Khmer kingdom had contracted dramatically from its Angkor-era dominance, its capital shifted repeatedly under pressure from Siamese and Vietnamese encroachment. Minting infrastructure was accordingly minimal, and these coins were produced by methods closer to local smithing than organized state production — accounting for the extreme irregularity in flan shape and metal quality seen across surviving examples.
