Obverse description Impressed chopmark of King Rama III known as the Luk Sorn mark, consisting of a stylized floral or rosette device struck into the upper flattened surface of the bullet-form planchet. The mark is applied within a recessed circular punch, characteristic of royal authentication stamps used on Siamese bullet coinage during the Bangkok Period. The surrounding field retains the irregular, hammer-worked texture typical of pot duang (bullet money) production.

Reverse description The Chakra, the sacred discus-wheel emblem of the Chakri dynasty, impressed as a stamp into the flattened surface of the silver bullet planchet. The device displays a circular, spiraling wheel form with radiating elements, rendered in low relief within a punched field. This royal seal mark served as the primary dynastic identifier on Siamese bullet coinage and confirms the coin's authenticity and denomination.
