Obverse description Central field occupied by a multi-line Arabic inscription arranged in three or four horizontal lines within a plain inner circle, the whole surrounded by a beaded outer border. The script is executed in a bold Naskh hand typical of Anatolian and eastern Islamic hammered silver coinage of the mid-fourteenth century. The irregular flan and slightly off-center strike are characteristic of hand-struck issues of this period.

Reverse description Reverse displays a multi-line Arabic religious or dynastic legend filling the central field, disposed in three to four horizontal lines enclosed within a plain inner circle and a beaded outer border. The inscription is rendered in Naskh script consistent with anonymous Anatolian beylik coinage of the 1350s. The flan edges are irregular and slightly ragged, reflecting the hand-hammering technique employed at regional mints of this era.
