| Obverse description | Countermark of the Ryazan tamgha applied to an imitation dirham flan, with the tamgha device rendered in a drop-shaped nasal form. The coin is struck on an irregular, roughly circular planchet typical of hammered medieval Russian issues. The surface shows the characteristic flat relief of a struck imitation, with the tamgha occupying the central field. The overall style reflects the transitional period of early Ryazan coinage, blending Mongol-influenced design elements with emerging Russian princely iconography. |

| Reverse description | Imitative pseudo-Arabic inscription derived from a Mongol dirham prototype, rendered in a degenerate and non-legible form. The legends, while visually resembling Kufic or Naskh script, carry no readable textual content and serve purely as decorative elements imitating the source coinage. The field is worn and irregular, consistent with the hammered technique and the crude planchet preparation typical of early 15th-century Ryazan dengas. Flan cracks and surface irregularities are present across the reverse. |
