| Obverse description | Heavily worn and encrusted obverse field bearing an Arabic legend in Naskh script, the inscription distributed across the flan in multiple lines. The surface exhibits significant corrosion and patination consistent with prolonged burial, rendering individual letter forms partially indistinct. The flat, irregular flan is typical of hammered billon coinage of the Khwarezmian period, with no decorative border or geometric frame visible. |

The legend occupies the central field of the flan, characteristic of Khwarezmian jital coinage. The surface is heavily patinated with areas of encrustation, and the irregular flan edges show typical characteristics of hand-hammered production. No border or marginal legend is discernible. |
