| Obverse description | Central field dominated by a stylized zoomorphic or vegetal motif rendered in bold low relief, displaying flowing curvilinear forms with scrolling terminals characteristic of Mongol decorative art. The design, likely a composite animal or dragon-like figure, fills the flan in a dynamic swirling composition. The irregular flan shows typical characteristics of hammered copper coinage, with a naturalpatina of dark brown and green oxidation. The die work is bold but somewhat roughly executed, consistent with provincial Golden Horde mint production. |

| Reverse description | Central field bearing a multi-line Arabic inscription in bold naskh script, arranged in horizontal registers across the flan. The legend occupies the majority of the die area and references the mint name Shehr al-Jadidah. The lettering is boldly struck with characteristic Golden Horde calligraphic style, showing deep relief against the flat field. The irregular flan edges, typical of hammered copper puls, partially obscure portions of the marginal legend. Surface shows natural copper-based patination with areas of green cuprite. |
