| Obverse description | A stylized tiger in profile facing left occupies the central field, rendered in the traditional Bruneian decorative style characteristic of cast tin-lead pitis coinage. A solar motif, representing the sun, is depicted above the tiger's head. The entire design is enclosed within a beaded or dotted inner circle, with a raised outer rim forming the border of the flan. The low-relief casting gives the device a somewhat crude but expressive appearance typical of Brunei pitis of this period. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features a cross-bar pattern dividing the field into four quadrants, with a dot motif filling the spaces between the bars. Arabic inscriptions are arranged within the four sections formed by the cross pattern, reading the royal title of the issuing sultan. The design is contained within a dotted inner border and raised rim, consistent with the casting technique employed for Bruneian pitis coinage throughout the period of issue. |
