| Obverse description | Irregular hammered billon flan with Arabic script occupying the central field. The legend, struck in a bold and somewhat crude style characteristic of Crimean Khanate coinage, fills the available surface with Islamic calligraphic elements. The overall strike is uneven, resulting in weak areas and a rough, irregular outline typical of small hammered akce denominations of this period. |
