| Obverse description | Central device comprising three tiered ceremonial pagodas or royal spired towers (prasat) arranged in a symmetrical group, each mounted on lotus-petal bases with hanging tassels below. The central and tallest prasat is surmounted by a multi-tiered crown finial, above which radiates a prominent starburst or solar ray motif emanating from a central point at the top of the field. The entire composition is rendered in high relief within a toothed or dentilated border, reflecting traditional Siamese royal iconography associated with the Chakri dynasty. |

| Reverse description | Central cartouche containing a naturalistically rendered elephant standing in profile to the left, depicted on a grassy ground line, enclosed within a beaded inner circle adorned with floral and geometric ornaments. Surrounding the central medallion is an elaborate decorative border of interlocking curved foliate and flame-like elements in a swirling lotus-petal arrangement, evoking traditional Thai decorative art. The outermost border features alternating six-pointed stars and tick marks separated by a raised ring, all contained within a fine toothed rim. No inscriptions or legends appear on this face. |
