| Obverse description | Within a beaded quadrilobe, the Genoese castle depicted in schematic form with battlemented towers, flanked by pellets in the angles of the frame. The legend CAFFA appears in the field, with two additional letter-like characters (Y Y) distributed around the central device. The overall style is characteristic of the rough hammered fabric typical of Crimean Genoese colonial coinage. |

| Reverse description | A Mongol tamgha (dynastic tribal symbol) depicted centrally within a circle composed of large pellets arranged around the perimeter. The tamgha, rendered in a simplified linear style, serves as a symbol of the Tatar overlordship acknowledged by the Genoese colony of Caffa. The field is otherwise plain, and the pellet border provides the sole decorative framing element. |
