| Obverse description | Central field occupied by multiple lines of Arabic inscription in an angular, somewhat crude hammered style, enclosed within a raised circular border. The legend, rendered in raised relief, fills the flan in the typical manner of Ilkhanid-influenced Iranian coinage of the mid-14th century. A secondary circular line separates the central inscription field from an outer border decorated with a continuous ring of raised pellets. The striking is characteristic of the irregular, hand-produced flans common to Sarbedaran silver coinage. |

| Reverse description | Central field bearing multiple lines of Arabic religious and dynastic legend in raised relief, executed in an angular script consistent with mid-14th century Iranian hammered coinage. The inscription is contained within a raised inner circle, beyond which a prominent pellet border runs around the circumference of the flan. The overall design conforms to the standard Sarbedaran type C format associated with the reign of Yahya Karabi at Simnan, with the flat, irregularly shaped flan typical of hand-struck provincial silver issues of this period. |
