| Obverse description | Crude Arabic inscription occupying the central field, divided by a horizontal bar into two registers, typical of anonymous Anatolian beylik fals coinage of the late 14th century. The upper register displays a single word or epithet in Naskh-influenced script, while the lower register contains a further portion of the legend in similarly rough execution. The flan is irregular and exhibits characteristic die-struck unevenness, with a dotted border segment visible along the right margin. |

| Reverse description | Central geometric motif consisting of a multi-pointed star or cross-hatched device with pellet ornaments filling the interstices, a decorative type commonly employed on anonymous copper fals of the Anatolian beyliks in the AH 8th century. Fragmentary Arabic legend surrounds the device in the upper field, partially off-flan due to the irregular planchet. The lower field is largely plain and heavily worn, consistent with extensive circulation. The overall die workmanship is coarse, reflecting the provincial mint practices of the period. |
