| Obverse description | Globular gold bullet-form flan bearing two impressed royal marks applied by hammer. The upper mark consists of a stylized floral rosette or lotus blossom with a circular centre, characteristic of the Mongkut (crown) symbol associated with Rama IV. The lower mark displays the Unalom or sacred conch symbol within a triangular or oval cartouche, denoting royal authority. Both marks are deeply and crisply struck into the rounded surface of the nugget-shaped flan. |

| Reverse description | Smooth, irregularly rounded convex gold surface typical of the traditional Thai bullet coin (pod duang) form, showing the natural hammered and folded texture of the gold flan. A secondary impressed mark, possibly a partial royal seal or control stamp, is faintly visible on the surface. The overall form is characteristic of the pod duang coinage tradition, with no formal reverse design distinct from the obverse beyond the placement of the royal stamps. |
