Obverse description Central field occupied by a tamga symbol enclosed within a border of pellets arranged in a circular pattern. A Seal of Solomon (six-pointed star or interlaced triangles) appears in association with the tamga, typical of Golden Horde ornamental coinage. The design is fully anepigraphic, bearing no inscriptions or legends. The flan is irregular and of variable diameter, consistent with hammered production at the Bulghar mint during the late 13th to early 14th century.

Reverse description Central device consisting of an ornate stylized floral motif, with radiating petals or curved foliate arms extending from a triangular central element. The design fills the field symmetrically and is executed in a bold, decorative style characteristic of Golden Horde anepigraphic coinage. Pellet ornaments accent the design. No inscriptions are present, confirming the fully anepigraphic nature of this type. The irregular flan edge is consistent with hand-hammered production.
