| Obverse description | Central field bearing the titulature of Sultan Mas'ud II in Arabic script, arranged in multiple lines in a characteristically dense Seljuk epigraphic style. The inscription is rendered in angular Kufic or Naskh lettering and occupies the majority of the flan. A beaded border (grenetis) encircles the design, defining the coin's periphery on this hammered, irregular flan. |

| Reverse description | Central Arabic inscription set within a hexalobe (six-lobed) cartouche, a hallmark of Anatolian Seljuk coinage of the late 13th to early 14th century. The legend in the central cartouche reads partial epithets of sovereignty, while the mint name and additional titulature are arranged as a circular marginal legend in the field surrounding the hexalobe. A beaded border (grenetis) runs along the outer edge of the coin. |
