| Obverse description | Central field bearing a multi-line Arabic inscription in cursive Naskh script, struck on a small, irregularly shaped flan typical of Jalayirid copper coinage. The legend occupies the majority of the coin's surface, with traces of a surrounding border or marginal inscription partially visible. The strike is somewhat off-center, and the surfaces display characteristic green patination consistent with prolonged burial. The die work is simple and utilitarian, reflecting the low-denomination nature of the fals denomination. |

| Reverse description | Central field featuring a multi-line Arabic inscription in Naskh script, heavily worn and partially legible, likely containing the name or titles of Sultan Shaikh Uways I and possibly a Quranic invocation or mint formula. The flan is irregular and slightly broader than the die, leaving portions of the design incomplete at the edges. Green cuprite patination covers much of the surface, obscuring finer details. The overall execution is consistent with provincial copper coinage of the Jalayirid period, struck with minimal artistic refinement. |
