| Obverse description | Irregular hammered silver flan bearing a multi-line Arabic epigraphic legend distributed across the field in bold thuluth-style script. The legend names the Ilkhanid ruler Ghazan Mahmud Khan with his honorific titles, reading 'The great khan Qazan Sultan Mahmoud, may God perpetuate his sultanate,' with the mint name Konya (Quniya) incorporated within the inscription. The lettering fills the coin's surface with characteristic Anatolian Seljuk-influenced calligraphic style, and the field shows the typical uneven strike of a hammered issue. |

| Reverse description | Hammered silver flan displaying a central rectangular cartouche framing a multi-line Arabic epigraphic legend in bold thuluth script. The Shahada occupies the upper portion of the cartouche: 'There is no god but God, Muhammad is the Messenger of God,' while the lower portion records the AH date six hundred and ninety-nine (699 AH / 1300 CE). A decorative border element surmounts the cartouche at the top, and marginal legend traces appear around the inner border, consistent with the Anatolian Ilkhanid hammered coinage tradition. |
