| Obverse description | Central field features an architectural motif interpreted as a portal or gateway flanked on either side by a small ringlet accompanied by two pellets. At the centre, a small circle is surrounded by four dots arranged cardinally, with two triangular ornaments completing the geometric composition. An additional ornamental device appears below the principal design. The overall arrangement is characteristic of the geometric and architectural decorative vocabulary employed on Mamluk copper coinage of the mid-fourteenth century. |

| Reverse description | A circular cartouche occupies the centre of the reverse, enclosing the name and titles of the sultan al-Nasir Hasan in Arabic script. Surrounding the central cartouche, a circumferential inscription records the mint attribution to Hamah and additional administrative legends. The entire design is enclosed within a plain outer circle serving as a border, a layout typical of Mamluk fals coinage struck at provincial mints during the sultan's second reign. |
