| Obverse description | Central field features a multi-line Arabic inscription within a circular inner border of beaded design. A marginal legend in Arabic script encircles the central device, running continuously around the outer border. The overall composition is typical of Qarakhanid fals coinage, with angular Kufic lettering arranged in a square or cruciform pattern within the central medallion. The hammered fabric produces a slightly irregular flan with die wear visible across portions of the field. |

| Reverse description | Central field displays a multi-line Arabic Kufic legend enclosed within a dotted inner circle, surmounted by a small crescent at the top of the central inscription panel. A continuous marginal legend in Arabic script fills the outer border, separated from the inner medallion by a plain linear border. A small ornamental device or pellet is visible at the base of the central inscription. The style and layout conform to standard Qarakhanid copper coinage of the early eleventh century, with characteristic angular Kufic script. |
