| Obverse description | Central Srivatsa symbol occupying the field, flanked by a sankha (conch shell) to the left and a swastika to the right, all rendered in low relief characteristic of early Pyu hammered coinage. The devices are bold and stylized, consistent with the religious iconographic tradition of the Pyu city-states. |

| Reverse description | Stylized rising sun motif displaying six radiating rays arranged symmetrically, contained within a beaded or dotted border. A single pellet is placed centrally within the solar disc, interpreted numismatically as a representation of the third eye of Shiva, reflecting the syncretic Hindu-Buddhist religious iconography prevalent among the Pyu. The overall design is executed in bold, primitive relief typical of hammered gold coinage of the period. |
