Obverse description Arabic legend in Naskh script occupying the central field, reading the mint name and regnal formula identifying Saray al-Jadida as the place of issue, with the date of striking where present. The inscription is arranged in multiple lines within the flan, typical of Golden Horde copper coinage of the mid-14th century. The hammered flan is irregular and slightly convex, and the coin shows a green patina consistent with prolonged burial. The lettering is boldly raised but unevenly struck, a characteristic feature of Jani Beg-era puls from the New Saray mint.

Reverse description Stylised multi-petalled flower rosette motif centrally positioned in the field, rendered in low relief. The rosette consists of radiating petals arranged symmetrically around a central boss, a decorative device commonly employed on Golden Horde copper puls of the Jani Beg period. The design fills most of the flan and is enclosed by a plain linear border, partially visible on this irregular hammered planchet. The surface exhibits heavy green cuprite patina with areas of earthen encrustation.
