| Obverse description | Central field occupied by a multi-line Cyrillic inscription arranged within a circular border, referencing the Suzdal seal and the title of the Grand Prince. The lettering is rendered in a characteristic medieval Russian hand, typical of early Moscow denga coinage. The legends are enclosed within a plain inner circle, with additional circular text running along the periphery of the flan. The overall execution is consistent with hammered silver technique, resulting in slight irregularities in strike and flan shape. |

| Reverse description | A leopard passant to the left occupies the central field, depicted with its head turned to face the observer and its tail terminating in a stylized lily motif. The feline figure is rendered in a flat, linear style characteristic of early 15th-century Moscow hammered coinage. A circular Cyrillic legend surrounds the central device, reading as the seal of the Grand Prince. Legend variations are documented across the series, and some specimens feature an ornamental device placed before the leopard in the field. |
