| Obverse description | Central Srivatsa symbol depicted as a stylised temple or shrine form, flanked by a conch shell (sankha) to the left and a swastika to the right, all rendered in low relief within a plain field. The composition reflects Brahmanical-Buddhist iconographic conventions characteristic of early Pyu coinage. |

| Reverse description | Stylised rising sun motif occupying the central field, depicted with radiating rays extending toward a beaded border that circumscribes the design. A prominent central pellet, interpreted in numismatic scholarship as an allusion to the third eye of Shiva, is placed within the solar disc, reflecting the syncretic Hindu iconography prevalent among the Pyu city-states. |
