| Obverse description | Central field dominated by a frontal enthroned figure depicted in a stylized, hieratic manner, seated cross-legged with both arms raised or extended, wearing a crown or elaborate headdress. To the left of the figure stands a tall staff or sceptre rendered in a beaded or columnar style. The entire design is executed in low relief in the hammered tradition, with an irregular beaded border encircling the field. The portrayal reflects the continuation of earlier Ilkhanid and post-Mongol iconographic conventions adapted for Turkmen coinage. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a multi-line Arabic inscription arranged across the central field, reading from top to bottom in five horizontal lines. The text, rendered in a bold angular script, records the royal title and name of the ruler, the pious formula expressing the perpetuity of his reign, the mint name Erzurum (Arzan al-Rum), and the date of issue. The legend is contained within an irregular beaded border consistent with the hammered fabric of the coin, and the surface shows the characteristic uneven relief typical of medieval Islamic copper coinage. |
