| Obverse description | Broad, flat, irregularly shaped flan of high-purity silver with a lightly convex surface. The field is largely plain and featureless, exhibiting the characteristic flat-hammered appearance of early Mon coinage, with minimal visible device due to the extremely small module and weight of this fractional denomination. Surface shows ancient patination and minor die-contact marks consistent with hand-struck production. |

| Reverse description | Slightly concave reverse field on an irregular flan, consistent with the anvil face of a hammered fractional silver coin. A faint, shallow depression or incuse mark is discernible at the centre of the field, likely the result of the hammering process on a rudimentary anvil die. The surface displays grey-silver patination with areas of light corrosion typical of ancient Mon silver coinage recovered from Southeast Asian contexts. |
