| Obverse description | Hourglass-shaped cast silver sycee ingot displaying three impressed administrative stamps arranged vertically across the concave upper surface, each containing columns of Chinese ideograms in regular script (kaishu). The stamps record fiscal or assay information, including what appears to be an official designation in the uppermost impression. The surface exhibits the characteristic irregular texture and porosity inherent to the hand-cast production method, with raised edges defining the boat-shaped form typical of Yuan dynasty silver currency. |

| Reverse description | Plain, uniface reverse with no inscriptions or decorative elements. The cast silver surface displays numerous natural pitting marks and an uneven texture resulting from the casting process, consistent with Yuan dynasty sycee production. The hourglass contour of the ingot is clearly defined by the raised flanged border characteristic of this denomination. |
