| Obverse description | Central field dominated by the iconic Lion and Sun device: a lion passant to the right rendered in bold relief, its body adorned with stylized fur markings, with a radiate solar disc rising from its back and displaying a frontal human face with pronounced features. Small six-pointed stars are scattered in the field around the lion. A circular Arabic legend in Naskh script runs along the outer border, enclosing the entire composition within a beaded or rope inner circle. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a multi-line Arabic inscription in Naskh script arranged across the central field, recording the sultan's full titulature and mint-date formula. The legend reads in multiple horizontal registers filling the flan, with a six-pointed star to the left in the field. A circular marginal legend runs along the periphery within a beaded border, completing the epigraphic program typical of Seljuq of Rum silver coinage. |
