Obverse description Crude depiction of a swan or waterfowl in profile facing right, rendered in low relief in a simplified, barbaric style typical of Hunnic coinage. The bird occupies the central field of the irregular flan. No legend or inscription is present. The overall fabric is characteristic of cast or crudely hammered late antique Central Asian bronze issues.

Reverse description Central device consisting of a schematic tamga or symbolic motif, possibly representing a dynastic or tribal symbol, surrounded by crude geometric or pseudo-epigraphic border elements. The design is arranged within an apparent square frame with pellet or linear ornaments at the corners and sides. No legible inscription is present, though the arrangement may imitate Bactrian or Kushano-Sasanian prototypes. The execution is rough, consistent with peripheral Hunnic workshop production.
