| Obverse description | Central field bearing a boldly struck Arabic legend in cursive Naskh script, arranged in multiple lines across the flan. The inscription, typical of Anatolian beylik coinage of the early 14th century, occupies the majority of the obverse field. The striking is characteristic of hand-hammered silver production, resulting in a slightly irregular flan with uneven relief. The field shows evidence of die wear consistent with contemporary circulation coinage. |

| Reverse description | Reverse field bearing a multi-line Arabic legend in cursive script, set within the irregular round flan. The inscription references the ruler's titles and lineage in keeping with standard Anatolian beylik epigraphy of the early 14th century. The hammered strike has produced areas of uneven depth across the field, characteristic of hand-struck silver akces of this period. The flan edge is irregular, typical of hand-cut silver blanks used in beylik minting practice. |
