| Obverse description | The obverse of this large bullet (pod duang) money bears the Royal Siamese coat of arms within a pointed oval cartouche, depicting three tiered chedis (pagodas) surmounted by a flame finial and flanked by royal regalia, all rendered in fine relief against the curved silver surface. Above the central cartouche, at the apex of the bullet form, appears a circular Chakra symbol — the traditional emblem of the Chakri dynasty — incised in detailed relief. The composition is characteristic of the royal commemorative bullet coinage issued under Rama V in honor of Queen Debsirindra, combining traditional Thai iconography with the ancient bullet coin form. |

| Reverse description | The reverse displays a circular medallion set into the characteristic rounded, kidney-shaped form of traditional Thai bullet money (pod duang), featuring an ornate foliate or lotus-leaf design rendered in intricate relief, surrounded by a decorative border with scrollwork and Cs 1242 Thai numerals at the base. The deeply curved silver surface shows the typical hammered bullet form, with the reverse face slightly flattened to accommodate the impressed design. The naturalistic plant motif within the circular field is consistent with royal Siamese commemorative pieces of the Rama V period. |
