| Beschrijving keerzijde | Scalloped flan mirroring the obverse outline. The central field displays a raised central pellet encircled by a single incuse ring, surrounded by four large raised bosses in a cruciform arrangement. Curvilinear scroll and foliate motifs fill the spaces between the bosses, imparting a floral rosette character to the overall design. The relief is somewhat lower and more worn than the obverse, though the lobed border remains well-defined. No inscription or legend is present on this face. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Khmer monetary system remains one of the least understood in Southeast Asian numismatics. These cast tin-lead pieces circulated within an empire that left extraordinary stone monuments but almost no written commercial records, leaving scholars to reconstruct trade patterns almost entirely from the coins themselves and from Chinese diplomatic accounts.
Mitchiner's cataloguing of this type spans the full imperial period — a six-century window that makes precise dating essentially impossible without archaeological provenance.
