| Obverse description | Anepigraphic field bearing a central ornamental tamgha device consisting of a circular ring atop a vertical stem with two lateral horizontal bars, forming a cross-like or anchor-shaped symbol characteristic of Golden Horde Bulghar fractional coinage. Three pellets are arranged in the field surrounding the central device, one to the upper left and others to the sides. The design is entirely non-inscriptional, relying on geometric and symbolic ornamentation rather than calligraphic legend. The flan is irregular and slightly ragged at the edges, consistent with hand-struck hammered silver of this period. The strike is moderately well-centred for the type. |
