| Obverse description | Hammered silver flan bearing a two-line Arabic calligraphic legend in bold Naskh script occupying the entire field. The inscription reads 'Sayyid Sultan' (سيد سلطان), the regnal name of the Khan, rendered in a flowing, deeply struck style characteristic of Central Asian hammered coinage. The irregular flan shows the typical uneven surfaces and slight curvature of hand-struck issues from the Khoqand mint. No border ornament or inner cartouche is present, the legend filling the planchet to its edges. |

| Reverse description | Hammered reverse bearing a two-line Arabic legend in Naskh script across the field, reading 'Zarb Khoqand' (ضرب خوقند), meaning 'struck in Khoqand,' with the AH regnal year inscribed below or incorporated within the legend. The script is bold and deeply struck, consistent with the hand-hammered technique of Khoqand Khanate coinage. The flan is irregular in outline, with flat peripheral areas typical of the mint's output. A leafy or floral border device is faintly visible at the left margin. |
