| Obverse description | Central field dominated by the Giray dynastic tamga, the traditional heraldic emblem of the Giray khans, rendered in bold relief. The tamga is encircled by Arabic inscriptions in cursive Naskh script arranged in concentric bands, containing the ruler's titulature and invocations. The flan is irregular and slightly broader at one edge, typical of hammered Crimean coinage of this period. Strike is moderately centered with some weakness at the periphery. |

| Reverse description | The reverse bears a multi-line Arabic inscription in cursive Naskh script, disposed across the coin field in horizontal registers separated by a central ruling line. The upper register contains the mint name Bakhchysarai and the lower register records the hijri date 1082. The lettering is boldly struck in high relief against a flat, unadorned field, with characteristic die wear and slight flan irregularities consistent with hand-struck Crimean Khanate silver coinage. |
