| Obverse description | Central field dominated by a six-pointed star (Seal of Solomon / Star of David) formed by two interlocking triangles in raised relief, enclosed within a plain inner circle border. A tamga symbol occupies the central interstice of the star, surrounded by pellets positioned at the points and interstices of the star. The design is entirely anepigraphic, executed in a bold, geometric style characteristic of Golden Horde ornamental coinage. The coin exhibits an irregular flan with a slightly uneven rim. |

| Reverse description | Central geometric ornament composed of a grid of four prominent square compartments, each containing a single raised pellet at its center, framed by interlacing curved bands forming an elaborate interlocked pattern. The overall design recalls a knotwork or guilloche motif, with additional pellets scattered in the surrounding field. The composition is enclosed within a plain inner circle border. The reverse is entirely anepigraphic, consistent with the ornamental type series struck at the Bulghar mint during the late 13th to early 14th century. |
