| Obverse description | Central field features the dynastic tamgha (tribal emblem) enclosed within a square cartouche, itself set within a circular border. The ruler's name and title are rendered in Arabic script in the surrounding margin, distributed around the central device. The flan is irregular, as typical of hammered Turkmen copper coinage of this period, with the design frequently struck off-center. |

| Reverse description | Reverse bears a decorative vegetal or geometric ornament occupying the central field, struck in low relief on an irregular copper flan. The legend, partially visible due to the irregular planchet and weak strike, carries Arabic inscriptions disposed around the ornamental device. The surface exhibits the characteristic rough texture and flan irregularities consistent with hand-hammered Aq Qoyunlu copper fals production. |
