Obverse description Three tiered ceremonial spired towers (prangs) arranged in a row within a beaded inner border, the central and tallest prang surmounted by a radiant sunburst emanating rays toward the upper field. The central prang rests upon an ornate lotus-form pedestal flanked by mythological serpent supports, while the two flanking prangs of lesser height stand upon decorated bases. The overall composition is characteristic of the royal Chakri dynasty emblems, rendered in fine relief with exceptional detail consistent with a proof pattern strike.

Reverse description Central design featuring an elephant passant within a Chakra (wheel), the traditional symbol of the Chakri dynasty, flanked by two six-pointed stars positioned at left and right of the central device, each star symbolizing one Fueang, with the two stars together representing the denomination of one Salueng (one quarter Baht). The design is contained within a plain field with a beaded border encircling the entire composition.
