| Obverse description | Central field dominated by a stylized Golden Horde tamga symbol, rendered in bold relief characteristic of Jochid coinage. The tamga is surrounded by a multi-line Arabic inscription in cursive Naskh script reading the mint name and regnal year, arranged in horizontal registers. The entire design is enclosed within a beaded border. The flan is irregular in shape, typical of hammered production, with the inscription occasionally running off the edge. The overall style reflects the provincial workshop traditions of the Khwarizm mint. |

| Reverse description | The reverse bears the Islamic declaration of faith (Kalima Shahada) inscribed in bold Naskh script, arranged across three horizontal lines filling the central field: the formula affirming the oneness of God and the prophethood of Muhammad. The text is enclosed within a beaded border consistent with the obverse. The flat field shows typical die-struck relief of Jochid hammered coinage, with some weakness at the margins due to the irregular flan. No additional decorative elements are present beyond the inscription itself. |
