Obverse description	Central field dominated by a stylized spoked wheel (dhammachakka or Wheel of the Law), rendered in low relief with six spokes radiating from a raised central pellet to a plain circular rim. The spokes are boldly incuse against the darkened field, giving the design a strong geometric character consistent with early Mon coinage of the Sudhammapura (Thaton) tradition. The flan is irregular and slightly ragged at the edges, characteristic of hand-hammered production. No legend or inscription is present on this face.

Reverse description	The reverse presents a heavily worn and corroded field in which the design details are largely obscured by patination and surface degradation. Faint traces of what appears to be a symbolic motif — possibly a srivatsa, conch, or other auspicious device commonly employed on early Mon coinage of the Sudhammapura type — can be discerned in the central area. The flan edge is irregular and crenellated, consistent with hammered manufacture. No inscription or legend is visible on this face.
