| Obverse description | Central field occupied by a Jochid tamga device enclosed within a beaded or linear circle, flanked by groups of three pellets arranged symmetrically in the surrounding field. The design is entirely anepigraphic, with no inscriptions or legends. The tamga, a dynastic tribal emblem characteristic of Golden Horde coinage, is rendered in low relief on an irregular flan typical of hammered fractional silver issues. |

| Reverse description | Central field bearing an ornate six-pointed star (hexagram) formed by two interlocking triangles, executed in a decorative style consistent with the 'Ornamental type' series of Golden Horde fractional dirhams. The design is entirely anepigraphic, with no surrounding legend or inscription. The relief is low and the strike uneven, characteristic of small hammered silver fractions struck at Bulghar in the late 13th to early 14th century. |
