| Obverse description | Central field occupied by a bold Arabic inscription in Kufic-influenced script arranged in two or three lines, likely bearing a ruler's name or title. The inscription is enclosed within a circular border, with a further marginal legend in Arabic script running around the periphery of the flan. The flan is irregular and shows typical characteristics of medieval Islamic hammered copper coinage, with a granular, worn surface consistent with heavy circulation. |

| Reverse description | Central field bearing a multi-line Arabic inscription in angular Kufic-influenced script, likely containing the mint name (Ardabil) and date formula or religious declaration. The legend is surrounded by a circular inner border and a partial marginal inscription following the coin's rim. The flan exhibits irregular edges and a heavily patinated, brown-copper surface typical of hammered fals coinage of the 12th-century Caucasian Atabegs. |
