Obverse description Cast tin annular flan with a central circular perforation, the annular field bearing a raised inscription in Javanese and/or Arabic script arranged around the circumference of the ring. The legend, partially legible due to the crude cast technique and natural surface granularity, encircles the central void, with individual characters distributed across the width of the annular field. The surface exhibits the characteristic rough texture and slight irregularity of hand-cast Malay tin coinage, with no additional decorative devices or borders present.

Reverse description Plain, undecorated annular reverse with a smooth but granular cast tin surface and a central circular hole matching the obverse perforation. The field is entirely blank, devoid of inscription, device, or border, presenting the characteristic flat yet slightly uneven surface typical of cast Malay pitis coinage. The rim is irregular and shows the natural flow lines associated with the sand- or clay-mould casting process used in the production of these small-denomination tin coins.
