| Obverse description | Obverse of this large hammered silver tamlueng displays the characteristic crescent or horseshoe-shaped form of Northern Thai bullet coinage, with the flat upper surface bearing two impressed stamp marks applied by punch. The upper right field features a circular medallion with a dotted or granulated border enclosing an interlaced floral or geometric rosette motif, while the upper left field carries a second stamp impression bearing stylised Fak Ham script characters. The overall surface of the crescent arm is covered with additional incuse script or decorative punch marks in the Lanna tradition, attesting to the multiple-mint origin of this denomination. |

| Reverse description | Reverse of this hammered silver tamlueng presents the convex outer face of the crescent-form flan, its surface bearing a prominent circular punch mark with a beaded or cable border enclosing a stylised spiral or conch-shell motif characteristic of Lanna Northern Kingdom coinage. Additional incuse script characters in the Fak Ham Lanna script are dispersed across the upper arc of the field, indicating mint identification marks applied by individual issuing authorities. The folded and squared lower terminal of the crescent is clearly visible, reflecting the distinctive fabrication technique of Northern Thai silver currency of this period. |
