Beschrijving voorzijde Facing figure of a Turkic ruler seated cross-legged in the Mongol style, depicted in frontal effigy with flowing hair flanking the face and a prominent crescent moon held before the chest. The figure displays a stylized bearded face with large almond-shaped eyes rendered in the characteristic Artuqid-Zengid artistic tradition. The seated posture shows the ruler's robes draped over crossed legs, with hands grasping the crescent at either side. An Arabic marginal legend encircles the central device within a beaded border. The overall design is executed in high relief with bold, archaic figural style typical of northern Mesopotamian Islamic coinage of the early 13th century.

Beschrijving keerzijde Central field occupied by multiple horizontal lines of Arabic Kufic-Naskhi script naming the ruler Nasir al-Din Mahmud and citing his Ayyubid suzerains al-Kamil Muhammad and al-Ashraf Musa, reflecting the political vassalage of the Zengid emirate of Mosul to the Ayyubid sultanate. A circular marginal legend in Arabic script runs along the border within a beaded or dotted rim, containing the Shahada or additional titular formulae. The inscriptions are arranged in four to five lines across the central field in a bold, angular script style. The overall epigraphic layout is consistent with Zengid copper dirhams of Mosul of the early 7th century AH. The coin shows characteristic green copper patina and slight flan irregularity.
