| Obverse description | Arabic legend occupying the central field, struck in a bold but somewhat crude hammered style characteristic of Golden Horde copper coinage. The inscription, reading in multiple lines, invokes the name and title of Khan Abdallah with a prayer for the longevity of his reign. The lettering is rendered in a angular Kufic-influenced Naskh script, with individual letter strokes clearly separated across the flan. The irregular planchet results in portions of the legend occasionally running off the edge of the coin. |

| Obverse lettering | عبدالله خان خلد ملكه |
| Reverse description | A stylised quadruped beast depicted in profile, occupying the majority of the reverse field in a bold, schematic rendering typical of Golden Horde animal-type puls. The creature, likely representing a lion or fantastical beast, is shown with a pronounced body, visible limbs, and a distinctive head with details rendered in a crude but intentional manner consistent with die-cut provincial coinage. The surrounding field is largely plain, with traces of a border or marginal legend partially visible on some specimens. The overall execution reflects the utilitarian and sometimes irregular standards of Azaq mint copper production during the reign of Abdallah Khan. |
