Design
- Obverse
- A representation of the Phra Maha Mongkut (Great Crown of Victory) with a radiating spire, flanked on both sides by royal tiered umbrellas, set against a background of leafy branch patterns, though less finely detailed than the tribute medal (Banakan coin) of 1858 (B.E. 2401).
- Reverse
- An elephant standing on level ground, facing left, at the centre of the Phra Saeng Chakra (the royal discus). Around the rim, the denomination appears in Thai script at the top, in Arabic numerals at the left, and in Chinese characters at the bottom. At the right is the Roman letter "F", standing for fueang (เฟื้อง, a unit of currency).
