Design
- Obverse
- A wheel with an anchor passed through it. To the left and right are spread wings beneath a Great Crown, flanked on both sides by three scrolling kanok (flame-pattern) motifs above. Beneath the left wing is the Arabic numeral denomination "10"/"5"/"1", and to the right the word "เซนต์" (cents). Below are the lettering and Arabic numerals giving the year of minting, "พ.ศ. 2486" (B.E. 2486, i.e. 1943), with a beaded border along the rim.
- Reverse
- A large Arabic numeral in the center of the coin gives the denomination "10"/"5"/"1". Above is the inscription "รัถบาลไทย" (Thai Government), separated by a prachamyam (four-petalled rosette) from the text below stating the denomination "สิบเซนต์" (ten cents)/"ห้าเซนต์" (five cents)/"หนึ่งเซนต์" (one cent). Beaded dots surround the denomination numeral and run along the rim.
