| Obverse description | Centrally placed lotus wheel (Dhammachakka) with twelve radiating spokes emanating from a raised central boss, the hub encircled by a plain inner ring. The spokes divide the field into twelve equal segments, all contained within a plain raised border. The design is boldly struck in high relief, consistent with the Buddhist iconographic tradition of the Mon Kingdom of Sudhammapura. |

| Reverse description | A Srivatsa symbol occupies the central field, rendered as an interlaced curvilinear device formed by looping foliate scrollwork. A crescent moon is positioned at the centre of the Srivatsa motif. The entire design is enclosed within a plain raised circular border, the flan showing characteristic hammered irregularity. The Srivatsa is a prominent auspicious emblem widely employed on Mon coinage of this period as a mark of royal and religious authority. |
