| Obverse description | Convex surface of a bullet-shaped (pod duang) silver planchet bearing two hammered punched impressions applied to the upper field. The uppermost punch depicts the Chakra (royal wheel symbol of the Chakri dynasty), rendered in shallow relief with characteristic irregular strike typical of hand-stamped Siamese currency. Below it appears the Dok Mai (flower) privy mark, a distinguishing device of the Rama III issue, struck into the rounded silver mass. The surface is unmarked elsewhere, retaining the smooth, polished texture of the folded and fire-welded silver bar from which the blank was formed. |
