| Obverse description | Central square hole surrounded by a raised square inner border, itself enclosed within a circular outer border. A partially legible Sogdian legend encircles the central hole in the field between the inner and outer borders. The flan is irregular and heavily worn, rendering much of the inscription illegible. The surface exhibits significant patination and encrustation consistent with extended burial. |

| Reverse description | Plain field bearing a tamgha device, tentatively identified as a left-facing cane or hook form with an arrow-like projection directed toward the hook's curve, serving as an issuing authority symbol. The surface is heavily patinated and worn, with the tamgha remaining only partially distinguishable amid encrustation. No legend or inscription is present on this side. |
