| Obverse description | Central field bearing a multi-line Arabic inscription in angular Naskh script, arranged in horizontal registers across the flan. The legend contains the sultan's titles and name, reading in the characteristic Mamluk formulaic style. The text is boldly struck with raised lettering against a plain field. The irregular flan edge, typical of hammered Mamluk silver coinage, is visible around the periphery. No decorative border or marginal legend is present. |

| Reverse description | Reverse field divided into multiple horizontal registers of Arabic Naskh inscription, characteristic of Mamluk dirham typology. The central legend likely bears the mint name (Halab) and the hijri date of issue. Bold, slightly uneven lettering reflects the hand-hammered striking technique standard to Mamluk silver coinage of the late fourteenth century. The flan is irregular and slightly clipped at the edges, consistent with the broader series. No ornamental border surrounds the inscriptional field. |
