| Obverse description | Central field dominated by an elaborate interlaced fancy knot motif rendered in low relief, characteristic of Golden Horde decorative coinage of the late Jochid period. The knot design is composed of interwoven curvilinear elements forming a symmetrical foliate pattern. The motif is enclosed within a circular border consisting of a beaded or pelleted ring. The flan is irregular and slightly ragged at the edges, consistent with hand-hammered production. |

| Reverse description | Arabic inscription in two lines across the central field, identifying the mint name, set within an oval or cartouche-like frame formed by two sweeping curved strokes. The legends are executed in a bold, somewhat cursive Arabic script typical of late Golden Horde issues. The surrounding border features a prominent beaded (pelleted) inner ring encircling the inscription. Additional fragmentary Arabic lettering appears in the upper margin outside the central cartouche. The overall design is characteristic of Jochid provincial mint issues of the 1360s. |
