| Obverse description | Central field bears a mirrored Cyrillic inscription, characteristic of the die-cutting conventions of early Muscovite coinage, enclosed within a circular border legend. The lettering exhibits notable variety across die combinations, with the inscription reading as a reference to Lukh and the seal of the Grand Prince. The flat, irregularly shaped flan displays typical hammer-struck characteristics of the period. The field is unadorned beyond the epigraphic elements. |

| Reverse description | A horned beast depicted in profile facing right, with its head turned back toward the left, rendered in the schematic style typical of early Muscovite wire money and hammered dengas. The creature occupies the central field and is surrounded by a circular Cyrillic border legend identifying the issuing authority. The design is struck on an irregular, slightly concave flan with uneven margins consistent with hand-hammered production techniques of the early 15th century. |
