| Descripción del anverso |
Central field dominated by a bold Arabic kalima inscription arranged in large, angular script across two registers, with decorative dot embellishments separating the lines. A marginal legend in Arabic script encircles the central inscription within the rim, running continuously around the coin. The strike is characteristic of the Chagatai hammered tradition, producing a slightly irregular flan with moderate relief. The overall layout follows the classical Islamic dirham format with the shahada as the primary design element. |

| Descripción del reverso |
The reverse presents a concentric circular layout with the central field containing a bold Arabic religious inscription, most likely the continuation of the kalima or a ruler's name, within a double or triple circular border. An intermediate band of Arabic legend encircles the central roundel, and a further marginal inscription runs along the outer rim close to the edge. The design is executed in the typical Chagatai Khanate hammered style, with characteristic bold lettering and modest decorative elements separating the inscription bands. The flan is irregular, consistent with medieval Central Asian minting practices. |

Almaligh — modern Huocheng in Xinjiang — served as one of the primary mints of the Chagatai Khanate during the mid-thirteenth century, positioned along the Silk Road corridor that connected the Mongol heartland to Central Asian trade networks. Coins struck here circulated among merchants moving between the Ili Valley and the broader Mongol imperial economy. The Chagatai Khanate at this date was still nominally subordinate to the Great Khan, a political reality that occasionally surfaces in the titulature of its coinage.
