| Obverse description | Arabic inscription arranged within a quadrilobe border, the legend disposed in multiple lines across the field. The quadrilobe frames the text with distinctive lobed arches visible at the cardinal points. The hammered fabric results in a slightly irregular flan with uneven surfaces typical of Ilkhanid copper coinage. The overall design is characteristic of Abu Sa'id-era fals issues from the Baghdad mint. |

| Reverse description | Arabic inscription filling the reverse field in multiple lines, without a formal border, consistent with the varied types produced at the Baghdad mint during the reign of Abu Sa'id. The legend is struck on an irregular copper flan with characteristic hammered texture and moderate die wear. Surface patination is dark brown to black, typical of circulated Ilkhanid copper fals. The reverse type belongs to the broad series of anonymous or lightly attributed fals issues of the period. |
