| Obverse description | Central field occupied by a multi-line Arabic kalima legend arranged in three to four horizontal registers, struck in bold, raised script characteristic of late Golden Horde hammered coinage. The inscription proclaims the royal titulature of Khan Shadi Beg, invoking the title Sultan and the formulaic supplication for divine prolongation of his reign. A partial dotted border frames the circumference of the irregularly shaped flan. The die is slightly off-center, consistent with the hammered production technique of the period. The flat, unadorned field carries no figural imagery, conforming strictly to Islamic aniconic conventions. |

| Obverse lettering | (Translation: Sultan the Supreme Shadi Beg Khan May Allah prolong his reign [year]) |
| Reverse description | Central field bearing a concise Arabic mint legend arranged in horizontal registers, identifying the place of issue as Ordu, the principal administrative and commercial center of the Golden Horde. The bold, raised script is rendered in the characteristic angular style of late Jochid hammered coinage. A dotted or pellet border partially encircles the flan perimeter, though the irregular planchet causes the border to be incomplete in places. The field is otherwise plain and devoid of ornamental devices, adhering to the aniconic standards of Islamic numismatic tradition. Overall die alignment and strike quality are consistent with mass-produced utilitarian silver coinage of the early fifteenth century. |
