| Obverse description | Crude imitation of a Golden Horde dirham type, featuring a stylized trident-like device in the upper field composed of three vertical prongs surmounted by pellets, derived from the tamgha of Jani Beg Khan. Below the central device, an interlaced geometric knot pattern occupies the lower field, rendered in a highly schematized, degenerate manner characteristic of Lithuanian-Ruthenian imitative coinage. The overall composition is set within an irregularly shaped flan typical of hand-hammered small silver issues of this period. Stylized Arabic-derived lettering or pseudo-inscription elements appear to the right of the central device. |
