| Obverse description | Central field features a stylized four-petalled flower motif, struck in low relief characteristic of hammered coinage. The floral device is encircled by an Arabic legend running around the periphery of the flan. The striking is irregular, consistent with hand-hammered provincial coinage of Central Asia, and the surfaces display typical green patination. |

| Reverse description | The reverse bears a multi-line Arabic mint legend disposed across the field, identifying the issuing authority and place of mintage. The inscription is struck in a bold, angular style typical of Eastern Turkestan copper coinage of the period. The flan is irregular in shape with uneven edges, and the fields show characteristic green cuprite patination from long circulation. |
