| Obverse description | Central field features a multi-line Arabic kufic inscription arranged within a beaded inner circle, with a dotted border surrounding the entire design. The die-cut lettering is characteristic of early 11th-century Qarakhanid hammered copper coinage, showing angular kufic script with decorative elements above the central text panel. The flan is irregular and slightly ragged at the edges, typical of base-metal coinage of this period and region. A marginal legend runs within the beaded border, encircling the central inscription. |

| Reverse description | Central field contains a multi-line kufic Arabic inscription set within a beaded inner circle, recording the names and titles of the ruling Qarakhanid princes. The inscription references Arslan-Khan Mansur b. Ali, Buri-tegin Ibrahim b. Nasr, and al-Husayn b. al-Hasan, arranged in horizontal registers across the die. A marginal legend in angular kufic encircles the central panel within the dotted border. The flan is irregularly shaped, with characteristic uneven edges consistent with hand-hammered Qarakhanid copper production. |
