| Obverse description | Central field dominated by a boldly struck Jochid tamga flanked by coarsely rendered Arabic legends reading al-nasir li-din Allah, the whole composition enclosed within a wide hexagonal border. The script is executed in an angular, provincial style characteristic of early Golden Horde coinage struck at Bulghar. The flan is irregular in shape and the striking is slightly off-center, consistent with hand-hammered production of this period. |

| Reverse description | The mint name Bulghar rendered in coarse Arabic script, enclosed within a double hexagonal frame set against a plain field. The inscription is crudely executed, reflecting the provincial character of the Bulghar mint during the late thirteenth to early fourteenth century. The flan edges are irregular and the relief varies across the surface, typical of hammered issues of the Golden Horde. |
