| Obverse description | Central ornate cartouche with elaborately looped and cornered frame, surmounted by Queen Rusudan's royal monogram. Within the cartouche, three Asomtavruli Georgian letters are arranged in distinct positions, each bearing a tilde above them. The cartouche is encircled by the regnal date rendered in the Georgian Paschal calendar system (Koronikoni 447), inscribed in the surrounding field. |

| Reverse description | Multi-line Arabic inscription in Naskh script fills the coin's field, contained within a dotted or linear inner circle. The legend, arranged in four lines, proclaims the royal titles and epithets of Queen Rusudan, identifying her as daughter of Queen Tamar and follower of the Messiah, with an invocation for divine favour. The hammered flan produces an irregular border, and portions of the outer circle may be off-flan on some specimens. |
