| Obverse description | Epigraphic design featuring the Shahada (Islamic declaration of faith) inscribed in multiple lines across the field in Arabic Naskh script. The central legend reads the full profession of faith affirming the oneness of God and the prophethood of Muhammad. The inscription is arranged horizontally in three lines within the coin's field, enclosed by a linear inner border and an outer beaded or dotted border following the irregular, flan edge. The surface displays characteristic hammer-struck relief with flat fields typical of early Ilkhanid silver coinage. |

| Reverse description | Epigraphic reverse bearing a multi-line Arabic legend in the field identifying the ruler Hulagu Khan with his Mongol and Islamic honorific titles. The inscription, arranged in three to four horizontal lines, reads the titles of the Great Khan and Ilkhan in Naskh script. The legend is framed by a linear inner border and an outer beaded border that follows the coin's irregular hammered flan. Patches of green oxidation are visible on the surface, consistent with the coin's age and silver alloy composition. |
