| Obverse description | Central field dominated by a multi-line Arabic calligraphic inscription in bold naskh script, giving the name and title of the ruler Muhammad b. Ibrahim. The legend is arranged in overlapping diagonal lines characteristic of Anatolian beylik coinage of the 14th century. A dotted inner border encircles the inscription, with the flan showing the characteristic irregular edge of hammered production. The field exhibits natural die wear and surface patination consistent with silver coinage of the period. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a multi-line Arabic inscription arranged within a rectangular frame formed by ruled lines, typical of Anatolian beylik akçe coinage. The legend, in angular naskh script, contains the mint and date formula, with additional lines of text disposed horizontally across the field. A dotted border is partially visible along the upper edge of the irregularly shaped flan. The die is slightly off-center, a characteristic feature of hand-hammered coinage of this era. |
