| Obverse description | Central circular depression containing a stylized equestrian or animal figure in low relief, surrounded by a raised border ring. The field outside the inner circle bears fragmentary Arabic or pseudo-Arabic legend arranged around the periphery. The strike is characteristic of hammered billon coinage of the Chagatai period, with irregular flan edges and uneven surface relief. |

| Reverse description | A bold Arabic inscription occupies the central field within a square frame or cartouche, the text rendered in angular Kufic-influenced script. The area between the square border and the coin's irregular outer edge is filled with decorative foliate or geometric elements. The overall layout is typical of anonymous Chagatai jitals struck at Ghazna, with strong central legend placement and characteristic billon surface oxidation. |
