| Obverse description | A mounted warrior or horseman depicted in profile facing left, rendered in the crude but vigorous style characteristic of early Moscow coinage. The figure is shown on horseback with minimal detail, the horse's legs and body suggested by simple linear strokes. The field is plain, and the flan is irregular in shape, typical of hand-cut wire-cut blanks of the period. |

| Reverse description | A pseudo-Arabic or imitation Tatar tamga inscription fills the central field, reproducing in degraded and stylized form the legend of a Golden Horde dang. The lettering, while visually resembling Arabic script, is non-legible and represents a conventional imitation retained from earlier tribute coinage practice. The design is arranged in horizontal registers across the flan, with individual strokes and loops characteristic of copied Jochid prototypes. |
