| Obverse description | Elongated fusiform cast silver bar with three punched symbols applied to the convex face: at upper left, a solar or floral rosette device of uncertain identification; at centre, a recumbent elephant facing right within an incuse rectangular punch; and at lower right, a chakra (wheel) device within a similar incuse punch. The symbols are deeply impressed into the smooth silver surface and represent royal or religious iconography of the Lan Xang kingdom. No inscriptions or legends are present. |

| Reverse description | Plain convex surface of the cast silver bar, exhibiting the characteristic smooth, slightly irregular finish typical of hand-cast Lan Xang currency.
