| Obverse description | Central field bearing a multi-line Arabic inscription in Naskh script identifying the mint and issuing authority, reading 'Mint of (New) Saray, Muhammad Uzbeg Khan.' The legend is arranged in horizontal registers across the flan, with the text occupying the full face of the coin. Characteristic hatched or lattice ornamental devices flank the inscription on either side, a decorative feature typical of Golden Horde coinage of this period. The flan is irregular and slightly uneven, consistent with hand-struck hammered production. The overall style reflects the epigraphic tradition of Jochid silver coinage from the Saray al-Jadida mint. |

| Reverse description | Central field displaying a multi-line Arabic religious inscription in Naskh script, reading 'Allah should bless and save him,' arranged in horizontal registers across the flan. A tamga (dynastic emblem of the Jochid rulers) is prominently placed within the field, serving as an identifier of Golden Horde authority. Hatched or lattice ornamental devices appear in the corners or margins of the design, consistent with the decorative conventions of this mint and type. The date in AH numerals appears partially visible at the base of the inscription on certain specimens. The flan is irregular and compact, characteristic of hammered dirham production at Saray al-Jadida during the reign of Muhammad Uzbeg Khan. |
