| Obverse description | Horseman depicted in profile facing right, mounted on a galloping horse with tail raised; the rider appears to brandish a weapon or lance above his head. The figure is rendered in a bold, somewhat schematic style characteristic of Anatolian Artuqid and Saltukid copper coinage of the late 12th century. The irregular flan shows the design in moderate relief with areas of green patination. No visible legend on this side, the composition being dominated entirely by the equestrian motif. |

| Reverse description | Central field bears a multi-line Arabic inscription arranged in horizontal registers, likely containing the ruler's name and titles, enclosed within a beaded or linear inner border. A circular Arabic marginal legend runs along the outer periphery of the coin, partially obscured by the irregular flan edge and encrustation. The epigraphy is executed in angular Kufic or early Naskh script typical of Saltukid copper issues. Green cuprite patination is visible throughout the field, with the raised lettering retaining clearer copper surfaces. |
