| Obverse description | Central field bears a multi-line Arabic religious and titular inscription arranged in horizontal registers, executed in the Kufic-influenced script typical of Qarakhanid-era coinage. The legends include the Islamic profession of faith (Shahada) alongside the ruler's name and titles. A dotted or beaded inner border frames the central text, with a further marginal legend running along the outer border of the flan. The overall strike is characteristic of hammered medieval Islamic gold coinage, with irregular flan edges and moderate relief. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a multi-line Arabic inscription in the central field, arranged in horizontal registers within a beaded inner border, containing Quranic verses, the caliph's name, and additional ruler titles. A circular marginal legend occupies the outer border, following standard Qarakhanid dinar conventions. The legends are struck with the characteristic irregularity of hammered gold coinage of the early 13th century, with some weakness at the flan edges. The field is slightly convex, consistent with hand-hammered production techniques of the period. |
