| Obverse description | The obverse of this Siamese bullet coin (pot duang) presents the Chakra (discus) royal symbol of the Chakri dynasty, stamped into the convex surface of the globular silver planchet. The deeply impressed mark appears centrally on the rounded face of the bullet-form flan, surrounded by the naturally irregular textured surface characteristic of hammered bullet coinage. The Chakra device is rendered with radiating petals or spokes encircling a central boss, executed with the controlled force typical of royal Thai mint practice under Rama IV. |

| Reverse description | The reverse face of this bullet coin displays the Mongkut (royal crown or tiered spire) countermark of King Rama IV (King Mongkut), stamped into the concave inner surface of the folded silver slug. The impressed device shows the characteristic tri-lobed or flame-tipped crown symbol associated with the reign of Rama IV, flanked by additional Thai royal emblems. The surrounding field retains the rough, hand-worked texture inherent to the traditional Siamese bullet coin production method, with no legend or border present. |
