| Obverse description | Anepigraphic field featuring a stylized architectural or tamgha-like device rendered in relief, consisting of a central crossbar surmounted by a circular element and flanked by vertical strokes, the whole composition surrounded by a dense scattering of pellets arranged across the field. A crescent or arc motif appears at the upper margin of the design. The field is entirely devoid of inscriptions, consistent with the 'ornamental type' classification of this Bulghar mint emission. The flan is irregular in shape, characteristic of the hand-struck coinage of the Golden Horde. |

| Reverse description | Anepigraphic field displaying a bold interlaced geometric ornament in high relief, comprising a quatrefoil or rosette-like design formed by interlocking curved bands, with star or floral motifs occupying the interstices between the lobes. The entire central device is encircled by a border of evenly spaced pellets arranged in a continuous ring near the coin's periphery. No legends or inscriptions appear on this face, consistent with the anepigraphic 'ornamental type' series struck at Bulghar during the late thirteenth and early fourteenth centuries. The flan edges are irregular, reflecting the hammered production technique typical of Golden Horde silver coinage. |
