| Obverse description | Central field contains the Arabic shahada legend arranged in three horizontal lines within a rectangular frame, itself enclosed within a triple linear border. The margin between the inner and outer borders is decorated with a repeating annulet pattern of small circlets (◎), distributed at intervals around the periphery. The overall design follows the standard epigraphic style of early Abbasid copper coinage, with no figural elements. |

| Reverse description | Central field bears the Arabic legend in two horizontal lines within a rectangular frame, enclosed by a double linear inner circle. The broad outer margin carries a continuous Arabic mint and date legend. Five annulet ornaments (◎) are evenly spaced within the intermediate zone between the inner and outer borders, serving as decorative punctuation marks consistent with Abbasid provincial copper fals design. |
