Obverse description Central field bearing multi-line Arabic legend in Naskh script, arranged in horizontal registers within a double linear border. The inscription occupies the majority of the flan, with additional marginal legend encircling the perimeter. Typical of Chagatai Khanate hammered silver coinage, the strike is irregular and the flan slightly uneven, characteristic of medieval Central Asian minting practice.

Reverse description Central field dominated by a multi-line Arabic inscription disposed in horizontal registers, with a prominent vertical stem or dividing element visible at centre, lending a cartouche-like appearance to the design. A marginal legend in Arabic script runs along the outer border within a linear frame. The surface shows typical die wear and uneven hammered strike consistent with Chagatai Khanate provincial issues.
