Obverse description A stylized rooster rendered in crude, primitive engraving style occupies the central field, depicted with short, roughly executed feathers. In the background, a rising sun is represented by a pellet-like radiate design, its rays rendered as small globular elements emanating from the solar disc. The overall artistic treatment is characteristic of Cambodian hammered coinage of the mid-nineteenth century, with an intentionally archaic and irregular execution reflecting local metalworking traditions. No legend or inscription is present.
