| Obverse description | Central field dominated by the Jochid tamgha, a stylized trident-like dynastic emblem rendered in bold relief, flanked by six-pointed star ornaments serving as decorative space fillers. The entire composition is enclosed within an octagram (eight-pointed star) formed by two overlapping squares, whose interstice points frame the central device. The overall design is geometric and non-figural, consistent with early Golden Horde anonymous coinage, with the tamgha acting as the primary symbol of dynastic authority in place of a ruler's name. |
