| Obverse description | Central field occupied by a six-pointed star (Star of Solomon) composed of intersecting lines, with small pellets filling the interstices between the points. The device is enclosed within a plain inner circle, itself surrounded by a rope or cable border running close to the irregular flan edge. The overall design is executed in the bold, somewhat crude style typical of late Anatolian beylik copper coinage, struck on a roughly shaped flan with characteristic surface porosity and green patination. |

| Reverse description | Central field displays a large Arabic letter or monogram, most likely a stylised form of a ruler's name or title, rendered in bold strokes within a plain inner circle. The device is framed by a beaded or rope border following the contour of the irregular flan. The strike is off-centre and the surface shows typical hammered characteristics with uneven relief, consistent with the artisanal production methods of the Karamanid beylik mint workshops of the late fourteenth to early fifteenth century. |
