| Obverse description | Central field occupied by a bold Arabic inscription in characteristic Golden Horde script, arranged in multiple horizontal lines across the flan. The lettering, executed in relief, bears the name and title of the ruler Aziz Shaykh, rendered in the angular, compressed calligraphic style typical of late Golden Horde coinage. The irregular flan edges and flat, unbordered field reflect the hammered production technique standard to this series. Minor die wear and surface granularity are consistent with circulation use. |

| Reverse description | Reverse field displays a multi-line Arabic inscription in relief, identifying the mint city of Saray al-Jadida (New Saray) and the date of issue in the Hijri calendar, consistent with Golden Horde monetary convention. The script is rendered in a cursive, somewhat compressed hand with diacritical dots visible in the field. The flan is irregular in outline, with the legend occupying the full available surface in the manner characteristic of late fourteenth-century Jochid dirhams. Slight double-striking and flan irregularities are noted. |
