| Obverse description | Central field dominated by two interlocking crescent-shaped cartouches arranged vertically, each enclosing Arabic inscriptions in angular Kufic script. The overall composition is framed by a circular border containing a continuous marginal Arabic legend in the field. The die-struck design is characteristic of Qarakhanid copper coinage, with bold, deeply cut letterforms and decorative dot punctuation separating textual elements. The flan is irregular and slightly fissured at the rim, consistent with hammered copper production of the early 11th century. |

| Reverse description | Central field bearing a multi-line Arabic inscription in Kufic script, arranged in horizontal registers within a beaded inner circle. The legend, likely comprising the Shahada or ruler's name and titles, is executed in bold strokes with characteristic Qarakhanid calligraphic style. A dotted inner border separates the central inscription panel from the outer marginal legend, which continues around the full circumference of the coin. The flan shows a pronounced chip at the lower right rim, typical of the irregular copper flans used for Qarakhanid fulus. The die alignment and strike are consistent with provincial hammered coinage of the period. |
