| Obverse description | Central field bearing a bold multi-line Arabic legend in three horizontal registers, reading the full royal titulature of Khan Shahin Giray bin Ahmed Giray Sultan. The inscription is rendered in large, deeply struck Naskh-style Arabic script, filling the entire field. The coin exhibits a diagonally reeded border visible at the rim. No figurative imagery is present, consistent with Islamic numismatic tradition. The overall design is monumental and calligraphic in character. |

| Reverse description | Central field occupied by a multi-line Arabic legend arranged in horizontal registers, giving the mint name Bagchih-Serai, the Hijri date 1191, and the regnal year 5, all enclosed within a delicate wreath of stylized floral and foliate motifs. The Giray dynastic tamgha symbol appears within the legend area. The wreath border is finely rendered and occupies the middle ground between the legend and the reeded outer rim. The composition is characteristic of late Crimean Khanate minting practice under Shahin Giray. |
