| Obverse description | Central field bears a multi-line Arabic inscription arranged within a circular border divided by two horizontal lines, presenting the honorific titles and name of Sultan al-Malik al-Mansur Hajji II. A small gnat device appears in the field as a secondary decorative or mint element. The inscription is executed in Naskh-style Arabic script typical of late Mamluk coinage. The overall layout is consistent with hammered Mamluk fals production, with characteristic irregular flan edges. |

| Obverse lettering | المنصور السلطان الملك حاجى (Translation: Al-Mansur Al-Sultan al-Malik Haji: `The victorious Sultan, the Haji ruler`.) |
| Reverse description | Central field displays a six-pointed star (hexagram) formed by two interlaced triangles, with a globule placed within each of the six points of the star. An Arabic inscription in four lines occupies the interior of the hexagram, giving the mint name. A secondary marginal legend encircles the design within the bounding circle, reading clockwise from 1 o'clock and recording the regnal year in words divided between the fields between the hexagram and the circle. Arrowhead-shaped spade devices appear at the interstices of the star. The design is consistent with the Dimashq (Damascus) mint style of the late Mamluk period. |
