| Obverse description | Plain oval cast surface exhibiting an irregular, uneven field with no intentional design elements. The surface shows natural casting texture throughout, with areas of surface damage and wear consistent with circulation use as primitive currency. The overall appearance is characteristic of hand-cast tribal monetary ingots produced without formal die work. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features two large, prominent circular depressions impressed into the cast surface, symmetrically positioned side by side near the center of the oval field. These concave indentations are a diagnostic characteristic of Hill Tribe ingot currency, likely serving as test marks or ceremonial identification features. The surrounding field retains the rough, porous texture typical of primitive casting techniques. |
