| Obverse description | Central field occupied by a bold multi-line Arabic legend reading 'Qulpa Khan', executed in a robust Naskh-influenced script characteristic of Golden Horde coinage. The inscription is enclosed within a polygonal inner border, itself surrounded by a dotted or pellet outer border following the irregular flan edge. The lettering is deeply struck and fills the field, with diacritical dots prominently rendered, typical of mid-14th century Jochid silver issues. |

| Reverse description | Central field bearing a multi-line Arabic legend arranged in horizontal registers, recording the mint name Azaq and the AH date 760, executed in a bold Naskh-influenced script. The inscription is framed by a circular inner border composed of raised pellets, with a further outer pellet border following the contour of the irregular flan. The lettering is boldly impressed and fills the field, consistent in style with other Golden Horde dirhams struck at the Azaq mint during the reign of Qulpa. |
