| Obverse description | Central field occupied by a multi-line Arabic legend in cursive Naskh script, boldly struck in high relief against a flat, unadorned field. The inscription, reading across multiple lines, proclaims the regnal invocation of Khan Abdallah with an expression of longevity for his reign. The flan is irregular and slightly ragged at the periphery, consistent with hand-cut hammered production. Letter forms are bold and closely spaced, with partial legends visible toward the rim where the flan edge truncates the text. |

| Reverse description | Central field bearing a multi-line Arabic legend in cursive Naskh script identifying the mint city and the hijri year of issue. The inscription is arranged in two or three horizontal registers across the flan, with the mint name Azaq prominently rendered and the numerical date appearing in the lower field. The flan is irregular in outline, characteristic of hammered coinage of the Golden Horde period. The relief is bold, though some peripheral detail is lost at the flan edge due to the hand-struck technique. |
