Obverse description The obverse bears a multi-line Arabic inscription in bold Naskh script filling the entire field, reading 'Sultan the Just Khizr Khan, may his rule be long.' The legend is arranged in horizontal registers across the flan, typical of Golden Horde hammered silver coinage. The script is deeply struck with broad, slightly irregular letterforms characteristic of mid-14th century Jochid mint production. No decorative borders or geometric frames are present, the inscription occupying the full available surface.

Reverse description The reverse displays a multi-line Arabic inscription in Naskh script arranged in horizontal registers across the field, recording the mint name and regnal year. The text identifies the place of issue as Saray al-Jadida and the AH date 761, presented in the standard formulaic layout of Golden Horde dang coinage. A subtle inner border line partially frames the inscription field on some examples. The strike is bold though slightly off-center, consistent with the hand-produced nature of hammered Jochid silver.
