| Obverse description | Central field bearing a multi-line Arabic legend within a star-shaped or lobed cartouche, typical of Central Asian hammered coinage of the early seventeenth century. The inscription names the ruler Tursun Muhammad Khan in the Nasta'liq or Naskh calligraphic tradition. The flan is irregular in shape, as characteristic of hand-struck issues of this period and region. The field surrounding the cartouche is largely plain, with die-shift and striking irregularities visible at the edges. |

| Reverse description | Central field bearing an Arabic legend arranged within a square cartouche, a design convention common to Central Asian tanka coinage of the Shaybanid and post-Shaybanid period. The inscription likely contains a mint name, date formula, or Kalima profession of faith, rendered in angular calligraphic style. The flan is irregular and shows typical characteristics of hammered production, with portions of the design weak or off-flan at the periphery. The surrounding field is plain and undecorated. |
