| Obverse description | Arabic legend in Naskh script arranged across the field in multiple lines, reading the name and acclamatory titulature of Khan Abd Allah. The inscription is set within an unbordered field on a crudely struck flan typical of late Golden Horde copper coinage. The strike is irregular and flat in areas, consistent with hammered production at a provincial mint. |

| Reverse description | A three-legged tribal tamga surmounted by a stylized bird's head facing left or right, centered within a square cartouche adorned with decorative curls or volutes at each corner. The tamga, serving as the dynastic emblem of Khan Abd Allah, is rendered in low relief against a plain field. The overall composition is characteristically schematic, reflecting the utilitarian nature of Golden Horde base-metal coinage struck at the Azaq mint. |
