| Obverse description | Central field bearing a bold Arabic legend enclosed within a single circular line border, surrounded by a beaded outer border. The inscription, executed in an angular Kufic-influenced hand, occupies the majority of the flan. The coin is struck on an irregular, somewhat planchet with characteristic hammered fabric, exhibiting moderate die wear and surface granularity consistent with medieval Turkmen silver coinage. |

| Reverse description | Reverse field displaying a multi-line Arabic inscription arranged in horizontal registers across the flan, typical of medieval Islamic coinage of the Aq Qoyunlu confederation. The legends, rendered in a fluid Naskh or Thuluth style, likely contain the ruler's name and title along with a mint or date formula. The strike is characteristic of hammered technique, with uneven flan edges and moderate relief, consistent with the broader Turkmen silver akce series. |
