| Obverse description | Uniface hammered billon coin struck on a round, dished flan. The central device depicts a fine-style Hamsa (sacred goose) in left profile, rendered with a single beak, a distinctive crest featuring both horizontal and vertical elements, and detailed body plumage. Before the bird, a vine with bud and branch is present. The upper tail feathers are elaborated with a curved and branched fore feather, while the back feather is curved and adorned with five horizontal elements to the rear. Interior body detailing reflects the refined artistic conventions of mid-nineteenth century Cambodian billon coinage. |
