| Obverse description | Depiction of a fish in low relief, rendered in a stylized, archaic manner characteristic of early Malay peninsula coinage. The fish motif occupies the central field of the flan, facing left, with body contours and fin details lightly impressed into the tin surface. The surrounding field is plain and unlettered. The overall workmanship reflects the primitive hammered technique typical of pre-Islamic Southeast Asian tin coinage. |

| Reverse description | A curvilinear motif in low relief occupying the central field, commonly interpreted in numismatic literature as a highly stylized animal, worm-like form, or abstract symbol. The design is rendered in a rudimentary hammered style, forming a loosely coiled or sinuous shape within the plain field. The exact iconographic identity of the device remains uncertain, consistent with the ambiguous symbolism found on primitive Malay peninsula tin coinage of the 7th to 14th century period. |
