| Obverse description | Cyrillic inscription arranged across the field in multiple lines, reading the title and name of Grand Prince Vasily. The legend is struck on an irregularly shaped hammered flan typical of early Moscow coinage, with the characters showing the angular, compressed style characteristic of late medieval Russian wire money production. The inscription fills the central field with minimal border decoration. |

| Reverse description | A leopard passant to the left, rendered in a schematic, stylised manner typical of early Moscow principality coinage. The feline figure occupies the central field of the irregularly shaped hammered flan. This reverse die is a re-use of an earlier half-denga die (HP II #1324), consistent with the economical die-reuse practices common in medieval Russian minting. The details of the animal, including its body contour and tail, are worn but discernible. |
