| Obverse description | Crudely struck field bearing a multi-line Arabic inscription arranged in three horizontal lines across the flan, reading the mint and date formula. The legend is enclosed within a simple linear border, partially visible on the irregularly shaped flan. The strike is characteristic of hammered Anatolian beylik copper coinage, with pronounced die wear and surface patina of reddish-brown copper with areas of green oxidation. The script, though worn, retains legible elements of the mint name Sinop and the phrase 'darb sinub sana' (struck at Sinop, year). |

| Reverse description | Flat, poorly preserved field displaying the remnants of an Arabic inscription in multiple horizontal lines, heavily worn and partially illegible due to the crude hammered strike and subsequent corrosion. The surface exhibits characteristic green and reddish-brown patination typical of Anatolian beylik copper fals coinage. The flan edges are irregular and clipped, consistent with anonymous hammered copper issues of the Isfendiyarid period. No figural motifs are discernible; the design consists entirely of Arabic script in the field. |
