| Obverse description | Anonymous Cyrillic legend arranged within a beaded inner border, occupying the central field of the flan. The inscription reads КН ѦЗЬ ВЕЛИ КИ (Grand Prince) in archaic Muscovite Cyrillic characters. The legend is presented without any ruler's name, a feature characteristic of anonymous issues of the early fifteenth-century Moscow mint. The overall design is enclosed within a partial beaded border following the irregular shape of the hammered flan. |

| Reverse description | A standing warrior figure depicted in profile within a beaded inner border, holding a spear in one hand and a round shield in the other. The warrior's posture and equipment are rendered in the flat, stylized manner typical of early Muscovite hammered coinage. Two die varieties are known: one with the spear at left and shield at right, and another with the spear at right and shield at left. The design is framed by a partial beaded border conforming to the irregular shape of the flan. |
