| Obverse description | Central field bearing a multi-line Arabic legend arranged within a rectilinear square frame, with ornamental devices occupying the four corners and surrounding areas outside the frame. The inscription, executed in a cursive Naskh-influenced hand typical of late Golden Horde coinage, proclaims the royal titles and name of the ruler. The flan is irregular and slightly flan-cracked, as characteristic of hand-struck steppe coinage of this period. The fields outside the central cartouche are decorated with floral or geometric ornamental motifs serving as fillers. |

| Reverse description | Central field bearing a multi-line Arabic legend arranged in horizontal registers within a double border formed by concentric linear and dotted circles. The inscription, rendered in a Naskh-style hand consistent with Golden Horde mint practice, records the mint name, the word for mint city (beled), and the Hijri regnal year. The flan edges are irregular and show the characteristic clipping and planishing typical of hammered Central Asian dirhams of the early fifteenth century. The dotted circle border is clearly visible enclosing the textual field. |
