| Obverse description | Three tiered ceremonial pagodas (prasat) arranged in a symmetrical group, the tallest at center flanked by two shorter towers, all elaborately decorated with traditional Siamese architectural ornamentation including foliate scrollwork and spires. The design is set within a beaded border with radiating decorative elements emanating from the central pagoda grouping. The overall composition reflects the classical Thai royal emblematic style of the Rama IV period. |
