Obverse description Central field occupied by a multi-line Arabic inscription in Naskh script, arranged horizontally across the flan. The legend includes the Shahada or the name and title of the Ilkhan ruler Uljaytu Khan. The flan is irregular and slightly clipped, typical of hammered copper coinage of the Ilkhanate period. The surfaces show green and red patination consistent with long-term burial, and the relief is bold though worn in places.

Obverse lettering لا إله إلا الله محمد رسول الله
Reverse description Reverse field bearing a multi-line Arabic inscription divided into registers, likely containing the ruler's name and titles, including 'Sultan Uljaytu' and possibly the mint name or date formula. The text is arranged in horizontal bands across the coin's surface in a style consistent with Ilkhanate fals coinage of the early 14th century. The flan edge is irregular with minor chips, and the strike is typical of hand-hammered provincial copper issues. Green cuprite patination is visible throughout the field.
