| Obverse description | Hammered silver flan of irregular round form bearing a two-line Arabic legend in the field, reading 'Sultan al-A'zam / Hajji Giray Khan' (the Supreme Sultan, Hajji Giray Khan). The script is rendered in a fluid, calligraphic hand typical of early Crimean Khanate coinage. The flan shows characteristic surface irregularities and slight die misalignment consistent with hand-struck medieval Islamic issues. No border or decorative frame is present; the inscription occupies the full field. |

| Reverse description | Reverse field displays a two-line Arabic legend reading ''Azza Nasruhu / Darb Qirim' (May his victory be glorified / struck at Qirim), executed in the same fluid calligraphic style as the obverse. The mint name 'Qirim' in the lower line identifies the place of issue as the principal mint of the Crimean Khanate. The flan is irregularly shaped with a rough, granular surface typical of hammered medieval Islamic silver coinage. No additional decorative elements or borders are present. |
