| Obverse description | Central field features a stylized eight-petaled floral rosette with a small elephant within a circular chakra at the centre, the whole surrounded by a beaded border. The denomination '1/16' appears to the left and 'F.' to the right of the central device, with Chinese characters (方片六十) positioned below. Thai script legend arcs around the upper portion of the field, reading 'สิบ หก อัน เป็น เฟื้อง', signifying one-sixteenth of a Fuang. A cross-like ornamental mark is visible to the lower right, and the overall design reflects the eclectic Western and Asian artistic influences characteristic of the Rama IV era. |

| Reverse description | The obverse of this pattern piece bears the Royal Siamese Chakri dynastic emblem: the Royal Crown of Siam centrally placed and flanked symmetrically by a pair of tiered Royal Umbrellas, emblems of sovereign authority, set against a background of stylised floral tree branches. The composition is formal and heraldic in character, consistent with official royal imagery employed during the reign of King Mongkut (Rama IV). The design occupies the full field within a plain inner border, conveying regal dignity and dynastic legitimacy. |
