Obverse description Central field bearing the name and titles of the Khan rendered in Arabic script, arranged in multiple lines across the flan. The legend, which may be anonymous on some specimens, is executed in a bold, somewhat cursive Naskh style characteristic of late Golden Horde coinage. Diacritical points are visible between the letter groups, serving as decorative separators. The irregular flan edge results from the hammered production technique, with portions of the inscription occasionally running off the flan.

Reverse description Central field displaying the mint name Chekreh Saray in Arabic script, arranged in multiple horizontal lines, with the regnal year inscribed below or integrated within the legend. The lettering is rendered in a bold Naskh hand consistent with late Golden Horde workshop practice, with diacritical dot separators punctuating the field. The flan is irregularly shaped due to the hand-hammered technique, and the strike is slightly off-center, as is typical for issues of this period and mint.
