| Obverse description | Central field occupied by a multi-line Arabic legend arranged within a double-lined square cartouche, typical of Mongol-period Islamic coinage. The inscription, rendered in an angular Kufic-influenced script, contains the name and titles of the Great Khan Möngke. A circular marginal legend surrounds the central square, partially legible owing to the irregular flan and surface wear. The flat, unraised field exhibits a mottled olive-brown patina with traces of original copper-red visible in the deeper recesses. |

| Reverse description | Central field bears a multi-line Arabic inscription arranged in a rectangular panel, recording the mint name Utrar (Otrar) and the date of issue in Hijri notation. The legend is framed by a double-line border, consistent with the standard Mongol fals format struck in Central Asian mints. The surrounding marginal area carries fragmentary additional text, partially lost to the irregular flan edge. The reverse surface displays the same characteristic flat-hammered fabric with blue-grey patination common to Mongol copper issues of this period. |
