| Obverse description | Central field occupied by a bold Arabic-script legend rendered in a stylised calligraphic hand, enclosed within a curved cartouche or crescent-shaped border. The design is framed by a partial dotted border running along the periphery of the irregularly shaped flan. Ornamental pellet clusters are distributed around the field, a characteristic decorative element of Caucasian khanate coinage. The overall composition reflects the hammered, hand-engraved tradition of 18th-century Transcaucasian mint practice. |

| Reverse description | Central field displays an Arabic-script legend in fluid calligraphic style, set within a crescent or arched cartouche open toward the base. A decorative rosette or floral motif appears to the right of the central inscription, while pellet ornaments are arranged along the inner border. The upper periphery is defined by a row of raised dots forming a partial beaded border consistent with the obverse treatment. The irregular flan and flat, uneven surfaces are characteristic of hand-struck copper coinage of the Karabakh Khanate. |
