Obverse description Central plain cross with thick arms enclosed within a circle, with a single pellet placed in each of the four quadrants formed by the cross. A circular legend of uncertain and partially legible characters surrounds the central device, consistent with the crude die-cutting typical of late medieval Russian hammered coinage.

Reverse description A horizontal tamga-like symbol resembling a double-barred form with curled or voluted terminals, positioned at the centre of the field and enclosed within a square border. Three pellets are arranged along each side of the square, serving as decorative or separating elements. The overall composition is characteristic of Tatar-influenced monetary iconography commonly found on early Russian principality coinage of the late 14th and early 15th centuries.
