| Obverse description | Hammered silver flan of irregular round form exhibiting typical characteristics of Crimean Khanate akce coinage. The obverse bears Arabic-script legends in the field, heavily struck and partially legible due to the irregular planchet and uneven striking pressure characteristic of hammered issues. The die impression is off-center, with portions of the inscription falling outside the coin's edge. |

| Reverse description | The reverse displays Arabic-script legends arranged within the field, consistent with Crimean Khanate akce issues of the Adil Giray period, likely bearing the khan's name and mint name Bakhchysarai together with the regnal year. The strike is weak in areas, and the irregular hammered flan displays characteristic surface undulation and flan cracks common to this series. |
