| Obverse description | Central field dominated by a pointed Gothic shield of inverted drop-form, bearing Arabic legends in thuluth script arranged within the shield's interior. Three pellets flank the shield at left, right, and upper positions within an inner circular border. A further Arabic marginal legend encircles the design between the inner border and the irregular flan edge, partially visible due to the irregular striking typical of hammered Mamluk copper coinage. |

| Reverse description | Central field features a pointed Gothic shield of inverted drop-form, closely related in design to the obverse, with Arabic legends in thuluth script inscribed within the shield's body, recording the mint and date. The shield form, characteristic of late Mamluk fals coinage, is rendered in raised relief against a flat field. A marginal Arabic legend runs around the periphery between the inner border and the irregular coin edge, partially legible owing to the uneven hammered flan. |
