| Obverse description | Cast bronze cash coin featuring a central square perforation typical of East and Central Asian monetary tradition. The field surrounding the hole bears a legend in Old Uyghur script arranged around the perforation. The inscription reads 'Iduq yarliq yurisun,' translating as 'Circulating by order of the Idiqut (King),' invoking royal authority. The surfaces show characteristically uneven casting with slightly raised rims framing the legend. The overall style reflects the hybrid Turco-Chinese numismatic tradition of the Qocho (Turfan) Kingdom. |

| Reverse description | Plain reverse field with a central square perforation surrounded by a raised rim, typical of cast Central Asian cash coinage. The surface is unadorned and shows the raw texture characteristic of sand- or clay-mold casting. A secondary raised border ring encircles the square hole, with no additional inscription or design elements present. The broad flat field bears natural patination consistent with buried bronze from the medieval period. |
