| Obverse description | Within a beaded inner circle, the Cyrillic letter Д (Д) appears prominently in the field, serving as an imitation of a counterstamp. The design is struck on a small, irregular flan characteristic of hammered medieval Russian coinage. The border is defined by a beaded ring. The sparse design reflects the transitional monetary practices of the early 15th-century Moscow principality. |

| Reverse description | A stylized bust or head of a figure wearing a hat is depicted facing right within a beaded inner circle, in the crude artistic idiom typical of early Muscovite hammered coinage. A partial Cyrillic circular legend surrounds the central device, of which only fragments are legible on most surviving specimens. The flan is irregular and the strike uneven, consistent with hand-hammered production of the period. The overall composition closely follows the small-denomination wire-money tradition of medieval Russia. |
