| Obverse description | Central field displays the Arabic hijri date ١٣٣۴ (1334 AH) in large numerals within a double-arched cartouche surmounted by a beaded border. The word 'sanah' (year) appears in the legend above the date numerals, with a brief inscription below the arch in the lower field. The flan is irregular and crudely struck, characteristic of hammered Bukharan copper coinage of this period. |

| Reverse description | Central field bears the denomination inscription 'Chahar Fulus' (Four Fulus) rendered in flowing Nasta'liq script within an arched cartouche. The border is formed by a ring of raised pellets encircling the flan. The strike is characteristic of the crude hammered technique employed at the Bukharan mint, with the design occupying the upper portion of the irregular flan and the lower field remaining largely plain. |
