Obverse description Flat hammered silver flan bearing a multi-line Arabic-script legend in the field, arranged in three horizontal registers. The inscription names the issuing authority Pulad Timur and records the mint date AH 768, corresponding to 1367 CE. The legends are executed in a bold, somewhat angular hand characteristic of late Golden Horde coinage, with the text filling the entire die area. The flan edges are irregular, as typical of hand-struck Jochid dirhams of this period. No decorative border or geometric frame is present.

Reverse description Flat hammered reverse bearing a multi-line Arabic pious inscription arranged across the field in several registers. The legend invokes the name and titles of the deceased Khan Jani Beg with the customary formula expressing the prolongation of his reign, a practice of posthumous citation common in late Golden Horde coinage. The script is bold and densely packed, occupying the full die area without a surrounding frame or ornamental border. The strike is slightly off-center, and the flan retains the characteristic irregular outline of a hand-cut planchet. The surface shows natural die wear consistent with extensive circulation.
