| Obverse description | Obverse field entirely occupied by a bold Arabic-script legend in flowing naskh style, arranged in multiple registers across the flan. The inscription bears the name and titles of the ruler Ahmad Göde, interspersed with decorative dot separators. The lettering is deeply struck in high relief against a flat field, characteristic of late Aq Qoyunlu hammered coinage, with the flan showing the typical irregular rounded edge of the period. |

| Reverse description | Reverse displays a multi-line Arabic legend arranged within a square cartouche framed by ruled border lines, a design convention typical of Aq Qoyunlu silver coinage. The inscription, rendered in angular naskh, contains the mint name Erzincan and the regnal or Hijri date formula. An outer marginal legend runs along the border of the cartouche, partially visible around the perimeter of the flan. Dot separators punctuate the text divisions within the square panel. |
