| Obverse description | Central field bearing a single boldly incuse Brahmi character, applied by punchmark technique, the letter rendered in thick, deeply impressed strokes within a shallow concave depression. The surrounding field is plain and unadorned, framed by the naturally irregular flan edge characteristic of this hammered gold series. The punch impression dominates the entire obverse, with no additional devices, legends, or border elements present. |

| Reverse description | Reverse is essentially plain, displaying the convex bulge produced by the obverse punch application, bisected by a single diagonal slash or incised line running across the upper portion of the field. The surface is otherwise featureless, with no legends, devices, or decorative elements, consistent with the minimal reverse treatment typical of these diminutive pseudo-anonymous gold trade pieces from Maritime Southeast Asia. |
