Obverse description Central field entirely occupied by a multi-line Arabic legend in bold Naskh script, reading in translation 'Sultan the Just Muhammad Khizr Khan, may his rule be long.' The inscription is arranged in three or four horizontal lines filling the flan, with individual letter strokes boldly raised in relief against a flat field. The coin exhibits the characteristic irregular flan and uneven strike typical of hammered Golden Horde coinage of the mid-14th century.

Reverse description Central field filled with a multi-line Arabic legend in Naskh script, arranged horizontally across the flan, recording the mint and regnal year. The inscription reads in translation 'Mint of Saray al-Jadida, 761' (AH), identifying the New Saray mint and the Hijri date corresponding to 1360 CE. The strike is uneven with areas of weak relief at the margins, consistent with hand-hammered production on an irregular planchet. Small pellet stops are visible between certain word groupings within the field.
