| Obverse description | Round cast tin coin with a central square perforation, a characteristic feature of Southeast Asian cash coinage influenced by Chinese monetary tradition. The annular field surrounding the square hole bears a two-word Javanese script legend reading 'Pangeran Ratu' (Lord King), distributed across the four quadrants of the coin face in a style typical of Banten sultanate issues. The inscription is rendered in raised Javanese characters cast in low relief against a plain field. The overall design is simple and functional, with no additional decorative border or devices. |

| Reverse description | Plain and uninscribed reverse, showing only the raised square rim surrounding the central square perforation. The flat field is devoid of any legend, device, or decorative element, consistent with standard Banten sultanate tin cash coinage of the period. The surface displays typical casting texture with slight granularity inherent to the tin alloy fabrication method. |
