| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse displays a centrally placed punch mark depicting a small elephant figure in incuse relief, surrounded by four additional circular incuse punch marks positioned at the cardinal points of the field. The surface is otherwise plain and uneven, consistent with the cast production method typical of Sukhothai kub proto-coinage. No legends or inscriptions are present. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Kub money — sometimes called bullet money's cruder predecessor — circulated in the Sukhothai kingdom during a period when coinage standards were deeply inconsistent across mainland Southeast Asia. Lead examples like this one were almost certainly low-denomination instruments for local exchange, as silver kub pieces handled higher-value transactions. The elephant association likely reflects both royal symbolism and the animal's practical economic importance as a labor and trade commodity in the region.
