| Obverse description | Irregular hammered silver flan bearing a central Arabic legend in Naskh script, arranged in multiple lines within the field. The inscription, invoking religious formulae typical of Seljuk of Rum coinage, is surrounded by a marginal legend encircling the coin. The flat, worn fields and irregular planchet are characteristic of late Rum Sultanate hammered dirhams. No figural imagery is present, consistent with the aniconic tradition of Islamic coinage. |

| Reverse description | Reverse displays a multi-line Arabic inscription in Naskh script occupying the central field, giving the ruler's name and titles along with the mint and date formula. A circular marginal legend runs around the periphery of the irregular flan. The die is boldly engraved but unevenly struck, with portions of the legend weak or off-flan, typical of the hammered coinage of the late Rûm Sultanate under Mas'ud II. |
