| Obverse description | Central rising or rayed sun motif depicted with multiple radiating linear rays emanating from a raised central boss, rendered in a stylized archaic manner. The design is enclosed within a plain inner circle, itself surrounded by a broad border of evenly spaced raised pellets or globules arranged around the full circumference. The flan is irregular and slightly convex, consistent with hand-hammered production. The field between the central motif and the pellet border is plain and lightly polished. |

| Reverse description | A zebu bull (sacred humped ox) depicted in profile facing right, rendered in high relief with prominent dewlap and curved horns; a small floral or vegetal motif appears above the animal's back. Beneath the bull, a stylized Sri (srivatsa) symbol is visible, a common auspicious emblem on Pyu coinage. To the left of the bull, a group of small Pyu script characters or auspicious symbols are struck in the field. The border is plain with scattered pellets, and the flan retains its characteristic irregular hammered edge. |
