| Obverse description | Central field occupied by multiple lines of Arabic script in naskh style, arranged horizontally across the flan. The legends, struck on an irregularly shaped hammered flan, display the characteristic bold strokes of late Seljuk epigraphy. The inscription references the ruler's name and titles, with additional formula in the lower portion of the field. The overall strike is slightly off-center, consistent with hand-struck coinage of the late Rûm Sultanate period. |

| Reverse description | Reverse field filled with multi-line Arabic inscription in naskh script, presenting the Shahada or religious formulae together with the sultan's honorific titles and mint or date references. The legend is arranged in horizontal registers across the irregular flan, with the characteristic bold and flowing strokes of late 13th-century Anatolian Seljuk coinage. Slight weakness in strike at the margins is typical of the hammered technique employed at the Sarıkavak mint during this reign. |
