| Obverse description | Central field bearing Arabic legend in three lines reading 'khan al-adil nughayan' (The Just Khan, Nogai), executed in a bold, somewhat irregular hand typical of mid-to-late 13th-century Golden Horde coinage. The script is set within a plain circular border with a partial dotted inner rim visible at the periphery. Stylized tamgha symbols flank or surmount the inscription, serving as dynastic emblems. The flan is irregular and slightly clipped at the lower right, characteristic of hastily produced hammered provincial issues. The overall style reflects the influence of both Mongol and Islamic numismatic traditions. |

| Obverse lettering | خان العادل نوغيان (Translation: The Just Khan, Nogai) |
| Reverse description | Central field bearing the Arabic pious formula 'al-mannat lillah' (Grace belongs to God) above the mint name Saqche, arranged in multiple lines within a plain border. A tamgha (dynastic emblem) and a fleur-de-lis ornament appear in the field, serving as identifying marks of the issuing authority. The script is somewhat compressed and irregularly struck, consistent with the rough flan and hand-struck production methods of Golden Horde provincial mints. The flan shows slight weakness at the edges, a common feature of coins struck at peripheral mints in this period. |
