| Obverse description | Central field occupied by a multi-line Arabic calligraphic legend in cursive Naskh script, disposed across the flan in several horizontal registers. The inscription names the ruling khan and his titles, reading 'Sultan the Just Nasir-ud-Din Toqtamish Khan.' The lettering is boldly struck with characteristic Golden Horde die style, with individual characters showing deep relief against a flat, unadorned field. The coin's irregular flan, typical of hammered Jochid dirhams, results in partial legend truncation at the periphery. No border ornament or geometric frame is present. |

| Reverse description | Reverse field filled with a multi-line Arabic inscription in cursive script, recording the mint name and regnal year. The legend identifies the place of issue as al-Ordu al-Jadida (New Horde) and bears the AH date 788, rendered in an unusual manner with the first digit '8' inverted and the second '8' accompanied by the written word for 'eight,' a distinctive die-cutter's convention documented for this issue. The inscription is distributed across several registers on the irregular flan, with peripheral letters partially off-flan due to the hammered production method. |
