| Obverse description | Facing right effigy of an armed prince in profile, depicted standing and bearing an axe and a sword, rendered in a primitive hand-struck style characteristic of early Muscovite coinage. A Cyrillic legend surrounds the figure in the field, reading the princely title. The overall composition is enclosed within a roughly circular flan with uneven edges typical of hammered wire-cut planchets. |

| Reverse description | Imitation of a Golden Horde dang of Toqtamysh Khan, featuring a pseudo-Arabic inscription enclosed within a rectangular frame adorned with a zigzag or stepped border along its sides. The text, copied from Jochid prototypes, is rendered in a debased and stylized manner by a Muscovite die-cutter unfamiliar with Arabic script, resulting in a garbled but visually convincing facsimile. The framed cartouche occupies the central field of the flan. |
