| Obverse description | Central field bearing the name and honorific titles of the issuing Khan rendered in Arabic script, arranged in multiple lines with diacritical dot clusters flanking the inscription. The legends are executed in a bold, angular Naskh hand typical of late Golden Horde coinage, with characteristic ornamental dots separating the textual elements. The flan is irregular and slightly convex, with the inscription occupying the full available field. No border or marginal legend is present, consistent with the reduced-module aqche denomination of this period. |

| Reverse description | Central field inscribed with the mint name in Arabic script, distributed across multiple lines and accompanied by groups of ornamental dots serving as word dividers and decorative fillers. The inscription identifies the Bulghar mint and likely incorporates a date or regnal formula, rendered in the same bold Naskh hand as the obverse. The irregular flan edges are characteristic of hammered production, and the flat field shows the shallow relief typical of worn late Golden Horde dirhams. No bordure or marginal legend is visible. |
