| Obverse description | Countermark of the Ryazan princely tamgha applied to a host Golden Horde dang. The tamgha is exceptionally large, measuring over 10 mm and occupying the majority of the available flan, with a distinctive rounded (ball-shaped) nose terminal and a sharp, angular projection on one side. The device is struck in high relief against the worn field of the underlying host coin. The bold, schematic character of the tamgha is consistent with mid-15th-century Ryazan countermarking practice. |

| Reverse description | Central quadrangular frame enclosing a hollow square, occupying the middle of the flan. A Cyrillic legend in early semi-uncial (poluustav) script surrounds the central device, reading the name and patronymic of the issuing prince. The inscription is distributed around the frame in a manner typical of Ryazan denga coinage of the first half of the 15th century, with letterforms characteristic of Russian medieval epigraphy. The legends may be partially legible or abbreviated depending on the individual die and flan condition. |
