| Obverse description | Central field bears the distinctive Aq Qoyunlu tamgha (dynastic emblem), rendered as a rectangular cartouche-like device with pellet ornaments, enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The surrounding field carries the Arabic Shahada legend disposed around the central motif. The flan is broad and irregular, typical of hammered Turkmen coinage of the period, with the legend partially visible at the periphery due to the wide, flat striking. |

| Reverse description | A horse walking or trotting to the right is depicted within a beaded inner circle, with floral arabesque ornaments filling the surrounding field in a decorative vegetal style characteristic of late Timurid and Turkmen artistic traditions. Above the horse, the name of the ruler Uzun Hasan appears in Arabic script. The composition is enclosed within a dotted border, and the broad flan allows the full decorative program to be displayed across the struck surface. |
