Obverse description A centaur depicted in right-facing profile, shown in motion with a sword raised, occupying the central field of the flan. The figure is rendered in the bold, schematic style characteristic of late 14th- to early 15th-century Russian hammered coinage. A Cyrillic border legend encircles the central device, partially legible due to the irregular flan. The overall composition reflects the Tatar-influenced artistic tradition of the appanage principalities.

Reverse description The reverse bears a multi-line Arabic inscription filling the central field, characteristic of the Tatar-derived monetary tradition adopted by Russian appanage princes of the period. The legend is arranged in horizontal lines within the flan, framed by a dotted or beaded border. The script is rendered in a cursive hand typical of contemporary Mongol-era imitative issues. The irregular flan clips portions of the legend at the edges.
