| Obverse description | Central field occupied by a multi-line Arabic inscription in Kufic-influenced script, arranged horizontally across the flan. A six-pointed star or asterisk ornament is visible to the left of the central legend, serving as a decorative device typical of Seljuk copper coinage. The field is plain and unbordered save for a partial dotted border along the right rim. The die-struck legends are bold but unevenly impressed owing to the irregular flan, characteristic of hammered provincial Seljuk fals production. |

| Reverse description | The reverse displays a multi-line Arabic inscription filling the central field, executed in a bold, slightly angular script consistent with early 13th-century Anatolian Seljuk epigraphy. The legend, likely comprising the sultan's name and titles or a religious formula, is arranged in horizontal registers across the flan. The surrounding field is flat and unadorned, with traces of a dotted or plain border visible along portions of the circumference. The irregular planchet results in partial legend loss at the edges, a common feature of hammered copper fals of this period and mint. |
