| Obverse description | Central field occupied by a three-line Arabic kufic-influenced legend in bold relief, proclaiming the titulature of the issuing khan. The inscription reads, in translation, 'Righteous Sultan Kildi Beg Khan, may his reign be long.' The script is boldly struck across the irregular flan, with individual letter forms displaying the characteristic angular and cursive qualities of Golden Horde calligraphy. The field shows no border ornament, consistent with the austere epigraphic style typical of mid-14th century Golden Horde dirhams. The flan edges are irregular, a natural consequence of the hand-hammered production method. |

| Reverse description | Central field bearing a three-line Arabic inscription in bold relief, arranged horizontally across the flan, recording the mint name and AH date of issue. The legend reads, in translation, 'Minted in Saray al-Jadida, 762,' identifying the New Saray mint and the Hijri year corresponding to 1361 CE. The numeral '٧٦٢' (762) is clearly legible in the lower register, consistent with what is visible on the coin. No ornamental border or additional decorative elements are present, in keeping with the plain epigraphic convention of Golden Horde coinage of this period. The flan is irregular and slightly concave, characteristic of hammered silver production. |
