| Obverse description | Heavily patinated copper flan bearing a multi-line Arabic inscription in the central field, struck in a bold but somewhat irregular hammered style typical of provincial Ilkhanid copper coinage. The legend is arranged in horizontal lines across the field, with traces of additional text or decorative elements visible at the periphery. The overall strike is uneven, with some areas of weakness consistent with hand-hammered manufacture. The surface is covered in a thick green-brown patina obscuring fine detail. No figural imagery is present, the design being entirely epigraphic in character. |

| Reverse description | The reverse displays a multi-line Arabic inscription arranged across the central field within a plain border, characteristic of Ilkhanid fals coinage of the reign of Abu Sa'id. The legend likely contains the mint name Bayburt and additional formulaic religious or dynastic text, though heavy patination and a weak strike obscure precise reading of individual characters. Dot diacritical marks are partially visible within the inscription. The flan edge is irregular, reflecting the informal hammered production typical of small-denomination copper issues of this period. |
