| Obverse description | Central field occupied by a multi-line Arabic-script legend giving the name and titles of Khan Selim III Giray, arranged in the traditional tughra-influenced calligraphic style characteristic of Crimean Khanate coinage. The inscription is set within a roughly delineated field, with the lettering executed in relief against a flat, unadorned background. The flan is irregular and the strike uneven, consistent with hand-hammered billon production of the period. |

| Reverse description | The reverse displays the dynastic tamgha of the Giray dynasty prominently positioned in the upper field, serving as the heraldic symbol of the ruling house. Below the tamgha, an Arabic-script inscription in the lower register records the mint name and the regnal year, arranged in horizontal lines separated by a ruled dividing bar. The overall composition is characteristic of Crimean Khanate hammered coinage, with the date appearing in the exergual area. |
