Reverse description Central field bearing a stylized six-petal floral rosette in low relief, with each petal radiating symmetrically from a central boss or pellet. The petals are rendered in a bold, schematic style characteristic of Golden Horde ornamental coinage of the late 13th to early 14th century. Small pellets or dots are visible in the inter-petal spaces of the field, enhancing the decorative arrangement. The coin bears no inscriptions on this face, consistent with its anepigraphic classification. The flan is irregularly shaped and the striking is somewhat off-center, typical of hammered silver dirhams of the Bulghar mint.
