| Obverse description | A camel seated in profile facing right, with its tail curled downward, depicted within a beaded or dotted circle. Above the camel, a stylised sun and cloud motifs occupy the upper field. The design is rendered in the flat, cast style characteristic of Bruneian tin pitis coinage. |
