| Obverse description | Irregular hammered silver flan bearing a multi-line Arabic inscription in the field, arranged in horizontal registers. The legends, struck in a bold but somewhat crude Naskh-style script, contain the name and titles of the ruler Qaidu bin Kashin. The flat, unbordered field shows typical characteristics of Chagatai Khanate coinage, with weak areas and die shifts consistent with hand-struck production. No decorative border or geometric framing is visible. |

| Reverse description | Irregular hammered flan with a central design featuring what appears to be a stylized tamgha or dynastic emblem rendered in low relief, flanked by additional symbolic devices. The strike is weak in areas, with the design elements slightly off-center, characteristic of Chagatai hammered dirhams of this period. The flat field bears no legible inscription, with the emblem serving as the primary identifying device on this side. |
