| Obverse description | Central field features a rectilinear square frame enclosing the Arabic mint name of Shafurqan, rendered in angular script. The date in Arabic numerals and script surrounds the central square, distributed across the four margins outside the frame. The flan is irregular and slightly ragged at the edges, characteristic of hammered jitals of the Mongol period in Central Asia. |

| Reverse description | The reverse bears the Islamic profession of faith (Kalima Tayyiba) inscribed in three horizontal lines of Arabic script filling the central field, without a bordering square. The legend reads the standard Shahada formula affirming the oneness of God and the prophethood of Muhammad, consistent with Mongol-era coinage adopting Islamic formulae for legitimacy in conquered territories. The flan is irregular with characteristic hammered surfaces and some weakness at the margins. |
