| Obverse description | Central field occupied by a Jochid tamga symbol — a composite device consisting of a vertical element surmounted by a small loop, evoking a trident or staff form. The tamga is surrounded by a scattered arrangement of raised pellets distributed across the field within an unbordered plain circle. The coin is anepigraphic, bearing no legend or inscription. The design is struck on an irregular flan typical of hammered Bulghar mint issues of the late 13th to early 14th century. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a bold geometric design in which a circle at the centre is intersected by four raised lines extending to the coin's edge, dividing the field into four equal quadrants. Each quadrant contains a group of seven raised pellets arranged in a loose cluster. A small central pellet or boss occupies the inner circle. The composition is entirely ornamental and anepigraphic, consistent with the decorative Bulghar mint series of the Golden Horde period. |
