| Obverse description | Central field dominated by a boldly raised, roughly executed cross motif with four arms of unequal length extending toward the rim, each arm terminating in an irregular, slightly splayed form. The surface exhibits a heavily granular, pitted texture characteristic of cast tin coinage, with natural oxidation and patination across the field. No legend or inscription is present. The design is entirely geometric in character, consistent with the primitive cast coinage tradition of the early Malay Peninsula. |

| Reverse description | Central field bearing a large, raised cross motif with four broad, curvilinear arms radiating from a central point, rendered in a more fluid and slightly asymmetric manner compared to the obverse. The arms of the cross display irregular, lobate outlines suggestive of a stylized floral or trefoil termination at each end, occupying the majority of the flan. The surface is characteristically rough and porous, reflecting the cast production method typical of early Malay tin coinage. No inscriptions or subsidiary devices are present in the field or around the rim. |
