| Obverse description | Three-line Arabic legend in Kufic-derived script occupying the central field, divided by a horizontal line into upper and lower registers. The inscription, rendered in relief on a flat flan, bears the ruler's titles and name. The die-struck lettering shows characteristic angular forms typical of early 13th-century Khwarazmian coinage. The flan is irregular and slightly uneven, consistent with hand-hammered production. |

| Reverse description | Three-line Arabic legend in the central field, similarly arranged across the flan in a format mirroring the obverse. The second image reveals what appears to be a stylized animal figure — likely a bull or recumbent beast — rendered in low relief within the upper register, accompanied by Arabic script below a horizontal dividing line. The design is characteristic of the Ghaznavid-derived jital tradition inherited by Khwarazmian issuers. |
