| Obverse description | Central field bearing a multi-line Arabic legend executed in a bold, angular hand characteristic of late Golden Horde coinage. The uppermost register displays a stylised tughra or tamgha device within a rectangular cartouche, serving as the dynastic emblem of Shadi Beg Khan. Below, the honorific inscription in Arabic reads that the Sultan the Just, Shadi Beg Khan, may his reign be prolonged. The flan is irregular and slightly uneven, typical of hammered silver production of the period. |

| Obverse lettering | (Translation: Sultan the Fair Shadi Beg Khan Let his rule be long) |
| Reverse description | Central field occupied by a multi-line Arabic mint and date legend, arranged in horizontal registers across the flan. The inscription records the place of issue as the city of Azaq (modern Azov), one of the principal commercial mints of the western Golden Horde, along with the regnal year of striking. The surface shows the characteristic granular texture and irregular flan edges produced by the hammering technique, with portions of the legend occasionally running off the coin's edge due to die-to-flan size discrepancy. |
