| Obverse description | Central motif of a ten-rayed star in low relief, the rays extending toward the irregular flan edge. The design is rendered in a simple, archaic style typical of early Maritime Southeast Asian tin coinage, with the field showing a slightly granular, oxidized surface. No inscription or legend is present. The overall composition is centred within the roughly circular flan, with the rays unevenly spaced due to the hand-struck technique. |

| Reverse description | A purna kalasha (auspicious overflowing vessel) depicted in low relief at centre, rendered in a schematic, stylised manner consistent with Indianised artistic traditions of the region. The vessel, representing abundance and prosperity, is shown with a broad body and a flared rim, with foliage or floral elements suggesting overflow from the mouth. The flan is irregular and the strike is uneven, leaving portions of the design weakly impressed. No inscription or legend is present on this face. |
