Obverse description	Central field depicts a rising sun motif with six rays projecting downward below a horizontal line and six rays extending upward above it, rendered in a schematic, archaic style characteristic of early Pyu coinage. The entire solar design is enclosed within a border of 27 pellets arranged in a circle, forming the coin's primary decorative boundary. The hammered flan is irregular, resulting in a slightly uneven field surface typical of the period. The design is executed in low relief with bold, simplified strokes. No inscriptions or legends are present on this face.

Reverse description	The reverse features a stylized temple or stupa motif at centre, rendered in schematic relief consistent with early Pyu artistic convention. Flanking the temple on both sides are swastika symbols and damaru (double-headed drum) devices, serving as auspicious religious emblems. Three pellets or globules appear in the lower field, while celestial symbols — a crescent moon and a sun disc — occupy the upper field above the central motif. The overall composition reflects the syncretic Buddhist and Hindu iconographic vocabulary characteristic of the Beikthano period. The field is plain and unlettered, with no border of pellets on this side.
