Obverse description A recessed square frame dominates the central field, enclosing a two-line Arabic religious or dynastic legend in Naskh script. The mint name appears in the outer marginal area beyond the square border, partially visible due to the irregular flan. The die-work is characteristic of provincial Qongirat coinage, with bold but somewhat roughly executed lettering typical of hammered copper issues of the Khwarazm region in the late 14th century.

Reverse description The reverse field features a central arabesque or floral ornament rendered in low relief, surrounded by Arabic numerals indicating the AH regnal date 771. The design is loosely composed within the flan, with the date legend disposed around or below the central decorative motif. The execution is characteristic of anonymous Sufid pul coinage, with irregular strike and flat areas consistent with hand-hammered production on an uneven planchet.
