| Obverse description | Central field occupied by a multi-line Arabic inscription in angular Naskh script, arranged in horizontal registers across the flan. The legend contains the name and titles of the issuing authority. A dotted border or pellet-beaded inner circle frames the inscription field near the upper rim, typical of Anatolian beylik hammered coinage of the early 14th century. The strike is irregular, characteristic of hand-hammered production, with portions of the legend occasionally running off the flan. |

| Reverse description | Reverse field filled with a multi-line Arabic inscription in Naskh script, arranged in horizontal lines across the coin's surface, invoking the name of the Mamluk Sultan Muhammad I (al-Nasir Muhammad ibn Qalawun) as suzerain. A six-pointed star or similar ornamental device appears in the lower field. The legend is set within a plain or lightly beaded border; the hammered flan exhibits the characteristic uneven shape and surface texture of Anatolian beylik silver dirhams of the period circa 1310–1341. |
