| Obverse description | Central field dominated by an interlaced floral and knotwork design of geometric character, rendered in low relief typical of Timurid copper coinage. The design consists of intertwining foliate motifs forming a complex knot pattern, occupying the majority of the flan. The surrounding field is largely unadorned, and the irregular flan edges are characteristic of hammered production. No legible legend is present on this face. |

| Reverse description | The reverse bears a central square or rectangular cartouche enclosing a date inscription in Arabic words reading 808 AH (corresponding to 1405 CE), arranged in horizontal registers within the frame. Additional Arabic marginal text runs along the borders of the cartouche. The lettering is rendered in a cursive Naskh-influenced hand typical of Timurid provincial copper issues. The flan is irregular with flat areas around the cartouche consistent with hammered manufacture. |
