| Obverse description | Figural type depicting a mounted horseman in relief at center, shown in profile riding to the right atop a galloping horse. The rider appears to be in a dynamic pose, possibly engaged in combat or hunt, with limbs rendered in a bold, schematic style characteristic of Artuqid and Saltukid copper coinage of the 12th century. The irregular flan and heavily worn surfaces reflect standard hammered production, with the design occupying most of the available field. Traces of additional figural or decorative elements are visible at the upper margin of the flan. |

| Reverse description | Central field occupied by a multi-line Arabic inscription arranged in circular fashion within a beaded or rope border, typical of Saltukid fals coinage. The legend, executed in Kufic or early Naskh script, likely contains the ruler's name and titles along with a religious formula. A marginal legend runs around the outer border, partially legible due to the irregular and tight flan. The overall layout conforms to the epigraphic conventions of 12th-century Anatolian Islamic copper coinage, with bold raised lettering against a flat field. |
