| Obverse description | Central field bears a multi-line Arabic religious inscription in Kufic script, arranged in horizontal lines across the flan. The lettering is boldly struck in relief, though the irregular flan edges result in partial legends at the periphery. The overall design is typical of anonymous Abbasid copper coinage, with the field devoted entirely to epigraphic content and no figurative devices. Surfaces show natural patination consistent with excavated copper issues of the early Islamic period. |

| Reverse description | The reverse displays a multi-line Arabic Kufic inscription occupying the central field, encircled by a partial marginal legend running along the inner border of the coin. The inscription is arranged in horizontal registers, characteristic of Abbasid fals coinage struck at provincial mints. The marginal legend, typical of issues attributed to al-Ramla, is partially legible due to the irregular flan shape and wear. No mint name or date appears in a dedicated exergue, consistent with the anonymous character of this issue. |
