| Obverse description | Crudely hammered bronze flan bearing a multi-line Arabic legend arranged horizontally across the field, divided by a central horizontal line into upper and lower registers. The inscription, struck in a bold but irregular Kufic-influenced script, carries the name and titles of Sultan Jalal ad-Din Mangubarni, last ruler of the Khwarazmian Empire. The coin exhibits the characteristic irregular planchet shape and weak peripheral strike typical of late Khwarazmian bronze coinage. Surface patination is dark brown with areas of natural oxidation consistent with burial or long-term circulation. |

| Reverse description | Hammered reverse displaying a multi-line Arabic legend arranged within a central oval or cartouche-like frame, surrounded by a prominent border of raised pellets or annulets encircling the field. The inscription, rendered in an angular Kufic-derived script, presents the Islamic profession of faith (Shahada) or additional honorific titles, consistent with standard Khwarazmian jital typology. The pellet border, clearly visible along the upper periphery, is a diagnostic feature of this series. The flan is notably irregular with one area of the edge chipped or broken away, reflecting the rough production methods of the period. |
