| Obverse description | Central field dominated by a six-pointed star (hexagram) formed by two interlocking triangles, with an asterisk or multi-rayed star motif positioned at its centre. The intersecting lines of the hexagram radiate boldly across the flan, with small pellets or globules visible at several of the outer points of the star. The overall design is rendered in a simple, bold hammered style typical of Anatolian beylik copper coinage, with an irregular, ragged rim characteristic of hand-cut planchets. |

| Reverse description | Central field bearing a multi-pointed asterisk or star motif with radiating lines extending toward the rim, executed in a coarse hammered technique. The flan surface shows considerable roughness and patchy green cuprite patination consistent with long burial, with the design elements only partially raised due to the uneven planchet. No legible inscription or legend is present, the entire composition consisting solely of the geometric star ornament within the plain, irregularly shaped field. |
