| Obverse description | Irregularly shaped hammered gold flan with a highly textured, granular surface throughout. At center, a raised conical or srivatsa-like device is visible in low relief, comprised of two lobed or globular elements stacked vertically above a tapering stem, suggestive of a stylized auspicious symbol. The field is deeply pitted and striated, consistent with early Southeast Asian hammered coinage technique. No inscriptions or border elements are present. |

| Reverse description | Reverse displays a bold raised design within a slightly recessed circular field, bordered by a plain raised rim. The central motif appears to be a stylized srivatsa or floral cross symbol, rendered with broad, leaf-shaped lobes radiating from a central point, surrounded by a series of circular pellets and a square-in-square device at the base. Small dot punctuations are distributed around the inner border, characteristic of early Mon or Pyu-related coinage from the Kyaikto region of Lower Burma, dating to the first century CE. |
