| Obverse description | Pseudo-Arabic legend filling the coin field, imitating the Juchid titular formula al-sultan al-adil, rendered in a degenerate, non-literate imitation of Naskh script. The inscription is arranged in two or three horizontal registers across the flan, with decorative flourishes and ornamental strokes above and below. The overall design closely copies the obverse of a Golden Horde AR dang of Jani Beg Khan, though the letterforms are garbled and produced by a die-cutter unfamiliar with Arabic. The irregular, bracteate-thin flan is characteristic of locally struck Kyivan imitative issues of the late 14th century. |

| Reverse description | Pseudo-Arabic legend occupying the full coin field, arranged in horizontal registers in imitation of the reverse of a Golden Horde AR dang, with degenerate letterforms that closely mimic but do not accurately reproduce Arabic script. The die engraving shows simplified strokes and ornamental marks replacing the original mint name and date formulae. The flan is irregular and of hammered fabric, consistent with local Kyivan production. No mint name or regnal date is legible. |
