| Obverse description | Central radiate or solar wheel motif with multiple rays emanating from a small central boss, the interstices filled with Arabic script in Kufic or Naskh style. The legend, partially legible due to the crude hammered technique, is distributed around and between the radiating arms in the field. The flan is irregular and slightly scyphate in places, consistent with hand-struck copper coinage of the Jand region. The overall design exhibits a strongly stylized, almost abstract character typical of minor Central Asian feudal issues of the 5th–6th centuries AH. |

| Reverse description | Radiate solar or wheel design closely mirroring the obverse, with multiple rays spreading from a central point to the periphery of the flan. Arabic inscriptions in angular script are positioned between the rays and along the upper portion of the field, likely bearing the ruler's name or a religious formula. The surface shows typical porosity and uneven strike characteristic of hammered copper fulus of this period and region. The irregular flan edge and variable relief reflect the artisanal minting practices of the Maliks of Jand. |
