| Obverse description | Central field occupied by the Kalima (Islamic profession of faith) in multiple lines of Kufic Arabic script, reading 'La ilaha illa Allah / wahdahu / la sharika lahu' (There is no god but God alone, He has no partner). The central inscription is enclosed within a single-line inner circle and surrounded by a dotted border. A circular marginal legend in Arabic script runs within the outer border, containing mint, date, and additional religious formulae typical of Abbasid-style dirhams of the period. |

| Reverse description | Central field bearing multiple lines of Kufic Arabic script arranged in the Abbasid tradition, citing the names of the ruling authorities: Muzaffar Kiya, Ahmad b. 'Ali, and Nasr b. 'Ali, along with standard religious phrases. The inscription is framed by a single inner circle, with a continuous circular marginal legend in Arabic running along the periphery, itself bounded by an outer dotted border. The overall style and layout closely follow the Samanid and early Qarakhanid dirham tradition. |
