Obverse description Crude cast imitation of the Japanese Kan'ei Tsūhō cash coin, with four roughly rendered Chinese characters in relief positioned around the central square hole in the typical cross arrangement. The characters are crudely executed with simplified strokes, indicating local Balinese manufacture rather than genuine Japanese coinage.

Reverse description Crude cast reverse featuring two roughly rendered characters in relief flanking the central square hole, with a simplified character above and a Manchurian script character below.
