| Obverse description | Central field occupied by a multi-line Arabic inscription in Kufic-influenced script, arranged in three or four horizontal lines within a circular border of pellets. The legend contains the ruler's titles and name. An inner circular line separates the central epigraphic panel from the beaded outer border, consistent with Qarakhanid hammered silver coinage of the early 13th century. |

| Reverse description | Reverse displays a multi-line Arabic inscription in three horizontal lines across the central field, similarly framed by a plain inner circle and an outer beaded border. The legend references religious formulae and mint or ruler attributions typical of Qarakhanid dirhams struck at Banakath. The flan is irregular and slightly uneven, characteristic of hammered production, with traces of flatness at the edges. |
