| Obverse description | Irregular hammered flan displaying a multi-line Arabic-script legend in the field, containing the khan's titles and name. The inscription is disposed across the available surface in the characteristic manner of Crimean Khanate akces, with individual words and letter groups distributed across the flan. The strike is typical of the period, with variable depth and partial legends owing to the small irregular planchet. |

| Reverse description | The reverse bears the dynastic tamgha of the Giray dynasty prominently occupying the central field, rendered in high relief against the hammered silver surface. The tamgha, the heraldic emblem of the Giray ruling house, appears as a stylized curvilinear device with characteristic forked or trident-like elements, flanked by fragmentary Arabic inscriptions indicating the mint and regnal date. The flan is irregular and the design is partially off-centre, consistent with hand-hammered production of sixteenth-century Crimean coinage. |
