| Obverse description | Irregular hammered flan bearing multiple horizontal lines of Arabic Kufic script arranged within a beaded inner border. The inscriptions are distributed across three or four registers filling the entire field, with no figurative imagery, consistent with Islamic epigraphic coinage tradition. The legends contain religious formulae and the ruler's titles. The outer margin is defined by a beaded or dotted border following the irregular coin edge. |

| Reverse description | Circular field entirely occupied by multiple horizontal registers of Arabic Kufic script enclosed within a prominent beaded inner circle, itself surrounded by a beaded outer border. The inscriptions reference the ruler Nasir al-dawla Mubashir and likely include the Shahada or other religious invocations. The overall design is purely epigraphic, with no decorative motifs, reflecting the orthodox Islamic numismatic style of the Taifa period. |
