Obverse description Mounted warrior depicted in right profile, seated on horseback and brandishing a curved saber raised above the head. The rider is rendered in a bold, schematic style characteristic of early Russian medieval coinage. A circular border of dots or dashes frames the central design. The irregular flan and worn surfaces are consistent with hammered silver production of the Zvenigorod principality in the late 14th to early 15th century.

Reverse description Central field features a stylized figure, likely a creature or human form, rendered in the crude artistic style typical of apanage-period Russian dengas. A circular Cyrillic legend surrounds the central motif, partially legible due to the irregular and chipped flan. The design and lettering are characteristic of the coinage struck under Prince Yuri Dmitrievich of Zvenigorod, with flat relief resulting from the hand-struck hammered technique.
