| Obverse description | Annular tin coin with a central circular perforation. The annular field bears a crudely rendered inscription in Javanese or related Indic script, arranged circularly around the central hole. The legends are weakly struck and partially illegible, consistent with the primitive casting techniques employed for Malay peninsula pitis coinage. The irregular flan exhibits the characteristic rough, uneven edge typical of cast tin issues from the region. |

| Reverse description | Plain annular field with no inscription, legend, or decorative device. The reverse presents a smooth, featureless surface interrupted only by the central circular perforation, with a slightly uneven texture consistent with cast tin production. The flan edge is irregular, reflecting hand-finished casting methods typical of Malay peninsula pitis coinage. |
