Obverse description Two crossed arrows in saltire arrangement at center, oriented diagonally across the field. A large raised dot appears in each of the four quadrants formed by the crossing arrows, creating a symmetrical composition. The flan is irregular and slightly convex, consistent with cast tin-lead coinage of Portuguese colonial Malacca.

Reverse description Armillary sphere depicted in low relief at center, rendered schematically with intersecting bands representing the celestial rings, typical of the Portuguese royal emblem used on colonial coinage of the period. The design is crudely executed consistent with cast calin coinage, with the sphere occupying most of the available field. The flan edges are irregular.
