| Obverse description | Central design features the Mongkut, the royal crown of Rama IV (King Mongkut), depicted as a tiered ceremonial crown flanked by two smaller pagoda-like tower finials, all set amid ornate floral and foliate scrollwork. Radiating beams emanate from the apex of the central crown, symbolizing royal divine light. The entire design is enclosed within a beaded border. The composition is rendered in a precise, formal style befitting a royal Thai presentation piece. |

| Reverse description | Central motif consists of an elephant in profile enclosed within a Chakra (discus), the sacred wheel emblem of the Chakri dynasty, surrounded by radiating flame-like or leaf-like projections forming a sunburst pattern. Two small stars appear at the top and bottom of the Chakra. The entire design is set within a beaded outer border. The composition is boldly engraved and characteristic of mid-nineteenth century Siamese royal coinage. |
