| Obverse description | Central field bears a three-line Arabic inscription within a plain linear border. The inscription likely references the sultan al-Nāṣir Muhammad. An outer border of small diamonds is contained between two concentric circular lines, forming a decorative pellet-and-ring frame typical of Mamluk copper coinage. The overall design is characteristic of the hammered fals issues of the Mamluk period, with slightly irregular flan edges. |

| Reverse description | Central field features a six-petaled rosette with a central pellet, set within a linear hexalobe frame. A counter-clockwise marginal legend in Arabic script encircles the central device. The outer border consists of a ring of small diamonds contained between two concentric circular lines, mirroring the decorative scheme of the obverse. The geometric and floral motifs are characteristic of Mamluk mint practice at Halab (Aleppo) during the reign of al-Nāṣir Muhammad I. |
