| Obverse description | Central field bearing a stylized Arabic-influenced inscription arranged in a circular pattern within a beaded inner circle, characteristic of late 14th-century Russian principality coinage that imitated Tatar monetary designs. Surrounding the central motif is a border of Cyrillic or pseudo-Cyrillic lettering running along the periphery of the irregularly shaped flan. The design reflects the hybrid Russo-Tatar artistic tradition prevalent in the Nizhny Novgorod-Suzdal principality during the reign of Vasily Dmitrievich. The overall relief is low and the strike is typical of hand-hammered workshop production of the period. |

| Reverse description | Central field depicting a stylized figure, likely a horseman or standing warrior, rendered in a schematic and abstract manner consistent with late 14th-century Russian hammered coinage of the Nizhny Novgorod-Suzdal principality. The design is contained within a linear border, with the surrounding field largely plain due to the limitations of the hand-hammered technique on an irregular flan. The crude, compact execution reflects workshop practices of the era, with the main device occupying the majority of the available surface. Traces of a peripheral legend or ornamental border may be present, though worn and difficult to resolve. |
