| Obverse description | Central tiered royal crown (Phra Maha Phichai Mongkut) displayed in full elevation, flanked symmetrically by two multi-tiered ceremonial royal umbrellas (chattras) on either side, with additional smaller tiered regalia elements arranged in the lower field. Radiating rays issue from a star above the central crown, evoking royal divine authority. The entire composition is rendered in fine relief with ornate Thai decorative detail, enclosed within a plain inner circle and a beaded outer border. |

| Reverse description | A standing elephant in profile, facing left, depicted in high relief at the center of the field, enclosed within a beaded circular border. Surrounding this central roundel is the Chakra (wheel), the dynastic emblem of the Chakri dynasty, rendered with elaborate decorative spokes and flanked by curving ceremonial elements suggestive of foliage and royal insignia. The entire device is enclosed within a beaded outer border, consistent with the artistic conventions of late nineteenth-century Siamese coinage. |
