| Obverse description | The obverse field is entirely occupied by a multi-line Arabic legend in angular Kufic-influenced script, executed in high relief against a flat field typical of Golden Horde hammered coinage. The inscription proclaims the royal titulature of the reigning khan, reading 'Sultan the Just Jani Beg Khan, may his rule be long.' The legends fill the flan to the edges, with no decorative border or marginal ornament, consistent with mid-14th century Jochid dirhams. The strike is moderately well-centered, with some weakness at the irregular periphery. |

| Reverse description | The reverse displays a multi-line Arabic mint and date legend arranged within a lobed or pointed cartouche formed by an interlaced strapwork frame, a decorative device characteristic of Jani Beg's Saray al-Jadida issues. Small pellets or ornamental stops are visible in the angles of the frame. The field inscription records the mint name Saray al-Jadida and the AH date 746, corresponding to 1346 CE. The overall execution is consistent with standard Golden Horde hammered silver production of the mid-14th century. |
