| Obverse description | Central field features a standing anthropomorphic figure, possibly a deity or royal personage, depicted in frontal or three-quarter view with elaborate tiered headdress or nimbus rendered in concentric arched lines. The figure appears draped and is rendered in a stylized, archaic South Asian artistic tradition characteristic of early Mon coinage. The entire design is enclosed within a border of raised pellets arranged in a continuous ring near the coin's periphery. The hammered flan exhibits an irregular, slightly convex surface with typical die-struck relief. No legible inscription or legend is present on this side. |

| Reverse description | Central device consists of a large, prominently raised and highly stylized architectural or symbolic motif, resembling a stupa or sacred shrine rendered with bold, curvilinear scroll-work flanking a central tiered structure. The design features sweeping volutes or spiral scrolls extending to either side of a stepped, tower-like central element, evoking early Mon Buddhist iconography associated with the Hamsavati kingdom. The field surrounding the central motif is largely plain, with a small pellet border visible along the lower rim. The hammered technique imparts a bold, high-relief appearance to the design. No inscriptions or legends are present. |
