| Obverse description | Central field features a tamga (dynastic emblem) depicted within a beaded inner circle, itself surrounded by an outer ring of pellets arranged around the circumference. The tamga symbol appears as a stylized trident-like device. The coin is anepigraphic, with no legends present on either side. The flan is irregular and the strike is typical of hammered Golden Horde coinage of the late 13th to early 14th century. |

| Reverse description | A prominent hexagram (Seal of Solomon) formed by two interlocking equilateral triangles occupies the entire central field, with a six-petalled rosette at the center where the triangles intersect. Small pellets or globules are placed at the six outer points of the star and at intervals around the coin's edge, serving as decorative border elements. The design is bold and deeply struck, characteristic of Bulghar mint anepigraphic issues of the Golden Horde. The flan is irregular with a slight chip, and no inscriptions appear anywhere on the reverse. |
