| 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. |

| Additional information |
By 1411–12, the Golden Horde was fracturing under sustained dynastic conflict, and coins minted without a mint name are characteristic of this late period — issues produced under contested or mobile authority where formal mint infrastructure had collapsed or been abandoned. Assigning this piece to Saray is a scholarly convention based on die and style comparisons, not a recorded attribution. Jalal al-Din's reign was brief and embattled; he was killed in 1412, making this among his final issues.
