| Obverse description | Central field bearing a multi-line Arabic legend in Naskh script, arranged in horizontal registers across the flan. The inscription contains the ruler's name and titles, typical of Central Asian Islamic coinage of the period. The coin exhibits the characteristic irregular flan of a hand-struck hammered issue, with the legend partially running to the edge. Decorative floral or star-like ornaments are visible at the periphery of the field. |

| Reverse description | Central field displaying a bold multi-line Arabic legend in Naskh script divided into two horizontal registers by a ruled line, with the mint name and regnal year recorded in the lower register. The upper portion bears a stylised tughra-like device or floral ornament in the field above the main legend. The irregular hammered flan results in partial legend loss at the edges, consistent with the hand-struck coinage of the Khoqand Khanate in this period. |
