| Obverse description | Highly stylised rooster depicted facing, rendered in a bold, primitive hammered style characteristic of Cambodian Pe coinage. The bird's prominent comb and multiple elongated tail feathers radiate dramatically upward and to the sides, filling the field. Additional decorative feather elements appear to the front of the figure. The design is executed in low relief on a concave flan, with no surrounding legend or inscription. |

| Additional information |
Cambodia's bullet coinage — of which this is a representative type — was produced by folding and hammering planchets into dense, irregular lumps rather than striking flat dies, a technique shared across much of mainland Southeast Asia and persistent in the region for centuries. Attribution to a specific reign year within this tradition is often conventional rather than documentary; the 1550 date reflects scholarly periodization, not a mint record.
