| Obverse description | Central field bearing a stylized representation of Garuda, the divine bird deity, depicted in low relief with spread wings and characteristic avian features rendered in the Pyu artistic tradition. The central motif is enclosed within a raised circular border, itself surrounded by a prominent outer ring of raised globular pellets arranged in a continuous wreath pattern around the coin's periphery. The irregular flan and hammered technique impart an archaic, hand-crafted quality typical of early Southeast Asian coinage. The overall composition reflects the Hindu-Buddhist iconographic conventions prevalent in the Sri Ksetra Kingdom during the early medieval period. |

| Reverse description | Central field displaying a stylized Garuda motif in low relief, consistent in iconographic program with the obverse, though exhibiting slight variation in die execution characteristic of individually hammered pieces. The figure is circumscribed by a raised concentric ring border, beyond which an outer border of raised granular or floral pellet ornaments encircles the entire design field. The irregular edge of the flan is visible, typical of cast and hammered tin coinage of the Pyu city-states. The field surface shows natural patination and minor porosity consistent with tin alloy composition and considerable antiquity. |
