| Obverse description | Central field occupied by a multi-line Arabic legend in bold Naskh script, reading the royal titulature of the khan. The inscription is arranged in two principal registers: the upper line bearing the title 'al-Sultan al-Adil' (the Just Sultan) and the lower register carrying the name 'Jani Beg Khan', with the laqab 'Jalal al-Din Mahmud' on related varieties. Decorative geometric and interlaced knot ornaments flank the central inscription. A row of pellets is arranged along the lower interior, and the whole is enclosed within a plain inner border and a beaded outer border typical of Golden Horde coinage. |

The inscription records the mint name and date in segmented form across the field. The surrounding area is filled with the interlaced frame extending to the border, and the whole is enclosed within a beaded border running along the coin's irregular edge. |
