| Obverse description | Stylized solar disc with a human face depicted in the center, surrounded by radiating rays issuing outward in a sunburst pattern. The facial features are rendered in a schematic, folk artistic style characteristic of Ilkhanid copper coinage. The entire design is contained within a plain circular border. The composition reflects the syncretic artistic traditions of the Mongol Ilkhanate, blending Central Asian and Near Eastern iconographic conventions. |

| Reverse description | A prominent inverted triangle occupying the central field, enclosing the Arabic word 'Allah' (الله) rendered in stylized script. Arabic legends in Naskh script occupy the areas surrounding the triangle within a circular border, with additional inscriptions filling the spaces between the triangle's sides and the coin's periphery. The overall design is characteristic of the anonymous copper fals coinage attributed to the reign of Abu Sa'id Khan. |
