Obverse description Crude hammered design depicting a seated or enthroned figure in the field, rendered in a highly stylized and schematic manner characteristic of early medieval Central Asian copper coinage. The figure appears in a frontal or three-quarter pose with indistinct limbs extending outward, the die-work reflecting the rough artisan tradition of the Jand region. The surface displays pronounced die wear and flan irregularities consistent with hammered production. No legible inscription or legend is visible on this side.

Reverse description A large multi-petalled rosette or wheel ornament dominates the central field, with radiating spokes terminating in pellets or globules arranged symmetrically around a granulated central boss. The design is boldly struck in low relief and occupies the majority of the flan, bordered by a partial dotted or beaded inner circle. This decorative motif is a hallmark of Jand malik copper coinage of the 11th–12th century. The flan edges are irregular, consistent with hand-cut hammered planchets typical of the period.
