| Obverse description | Central field bearing a multi-line Arabic legend in bold nasta'liq script, occupying the lower left portion of the flan. The inscription, typical of Caucasian khanate coinage of the late 18th century, is rendered in raised relief against a flat, unadorned field. The irregular flan edge, characteristic of hammered silver production, is visible around the periphery. The upper right portion of the field is largely blank due to the off-center striking. |

| Reverse description | Central field displaying a multi-line Arabic inscription in nasta'liq script, positioned toward the right side of the flan in raised relief. The legend, likely containing the ruler's name and/or mint and date formulae, is characteristic of late 18th-century Caucasian khanate hammered silver coinage. The left portion of the flan is largely blank, a consequence of the off-center die strike. The irregular, lobulated edge is consistent with hand-hammered production techniques of the period. |
