| Obverse description | Struck on an irregular flan typical of hammered coinage, the obverse bears a multi-line Arabic legend arranged in two registers separated by a horizontal line, presenting the name and titles of the ruling khan. The field displays the inscription identifying the ruler as Khan Sa'adat Giray ibn Qirim Giray, rendered in flowing Naskh-style Arabic script. The planchet shows characteristic irregular edges and surface roughness consistent with hand-struck Crimean Khanate coinage of the late 17th century. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a multi-line Arabic legend arranged in three horizontal registers divided by ruled lines. The Giray tamga device appears prominently in the upper field, flanking the mint name Bakhchysarai on either side, while the Islamic calendar date 1102 AH occupies the lower register. The overall design is characteristic of late 17th-century Crimean Khanate hammered silver coinage, with bold, deeply struck characters on an irregular flan. |
