| Obverse description | Impressed into the convex surface of the bullet-shaped planchet is a circular cartouche bearing the Prasat (royal palace) mark, depicting a stylised multi-tiered pavilion or throne hall rendered in low relief. The device is struck within a beaded or plain circular border, centrally positioned on the rounded face of the coin. The hand-struck impression is characteristic of traditional Thai pot duang (bullet money) manufacture, with the surrounding field exhibiting the uneven, lumpy surface typical of the hammered silver flan. |

| Reverse description | The flat or slightly concave reverse of the bullet-shaped planchet bears two impressed circular cartouches struck in low relief. The upper, larger cartouche contains the Chakra (discus) mark, a spoked wheel device symbolising the Chakri dynasty, while the lower, smaller cartouche repeats the Prasat (palace) device. Both impressions are hand-struck and characteristic of Thai pot duang coinage produced during the reign of Rama III, with the surrounding surface displaying the irregular texture inherent to hammered silver bullet money. |
