Obverse description Central field bearing a multi-line Arabic calligraphic legend in a fluid, cursive style, giving the ruler's name and titles. The inscription is framed by a beaded or rope-pattern border running along the coin's irregular periphery. The die-struck surface displays the characteristic uneven flan typical of hammered gold coinage of the Khoqand Khanate.

Reverse description Central field occupied by a multi-line Arabic calligraphic inscription recording the mint name, regnal formula, or date, rendered in a bold cursive hand. The legend is contained within a scalloped or faceted inner border, itself enclosed by a granular or rope-pattern rim following the coin's irregular round flan. The overall style is consistent with Central Asian Islamic hammered gold tillas of the early nineteenth century.
