| Obverse description | Central field occupied by a multi-line Arabic legend arranged in horizontal registers across the flan, executed in a bold Naskh-influenced hand typical of Golden Horde coinage. The inscription proclaims the royal titulature of the reigning khan, reading 'Sultan the Highest Jalal ad-Din Mahmud Jani Beg Khan.' The strike is characteristic of the period, with irregular flan edges and slightly uneven relief resulting from hand-hammered production. No borders or decorative elements are present, the inscription filling the available field entirely. Minor weakness and die drift are visible toward the periphery, consistent with standard mid-14th-century Golden Horde silver coinage. |

| Reverse description | Central field bearing a multi-line Arabic legend arranged in horizontal registers, recording the mint and date of issue in a style consistent with Golden Horde administrative coinage of the mid-14th century. The inscription reads 'Minted in Saray al-Jadida, year 752' (AH 752, corresponding to AD 1351/1352), identifying the New Saray mint as the place of production. The field is unadorned, with the legend occupying the full flan. Strike quality is typical of hammered production, with some softness at the periphery and minor flan irregularities. No marginal border or decorative devices are present. |
