Beschrijving voorzijde Central field dominated by a large frontal winged figure — an angel or celestial being — depicted facing, with prominent spread wings rising above the shoulders. The figure is shown seated or crouching in a stylized, hieratic pose characteristic of Artuqid pictorial coinage, with limbs rendered in a bold, almost archaic manner drawing on Byzantine and ancient Near Eastern iconographic traditions. A dotted border encircles the design, and fragmentary Arabic inscriptions appear in the left and right fields flanking the central figure. The overall style reflects the eclectic artistic vocabulary of 12th-century Jaziran metalwork.

Beschrijving keerzijde The reverse bears a multi-line Arabic inscription filling the entire field within a dotted border, arranged in five or six horizontal registers. The text contains the Islamic profession of faith (shahada) together with the ruler's titulature and genealogy, rendered in a bold Kufic-influenced Naskh script typical of Artuqid copper coinage. The legends identify the issuer as Nur al-Din Mahmud ibn Qara Arslan and invoke the epithet al-Malik al-Adil. The coin's irregular flan results in some peripheral legend loss at the edges.
