Obverse description Central field bears a multi-line Arabic religious or titular legend executed in an angular, somewhat cursive hand characteristic of late Golden Horde coinage. The inscription is arranged in two horizontal registers separated by a ruled line, with the upper register displaying a prominent phrase in bold relief. The flan is irregularly shaped with a broad, uneven rim typical of hammered silver coinage of the period. The fields show considerable die wear and surface granularity consistent with the crude striking methods of the era.

Reverse description Central field displays the ruler's name and title in Arabic script arranged in two horizontal lines, reading 'Jalal al-Din', bordered by a row of pellets along the right margin forming a partial decorative border. A ruled horizontal line divides the field, with additional fragmentary inscription below, likely bearing the mint or date formula partially visible at the lower register. The flan edges are irregular and slightly clipped, typical of late Golden Horde hammered silver dirhams. The strike is off-center, with weak areas toward the left margin, and the surface retains a fine silver patina with natural die flow lines.
