| Reverse description | Central field bearing a multi-line Arabic inscription in naskh script identifying the mint, disposed across the flan in two or three lines within a plain field. The legends are boldly struck but partially obscured by surface patination and the irregular flan. The inscription reads the mint name al-Jadidah, typical of Golden Horde copper issues assigned to the New Sarai mint. The surface exhibits characteristic green cuprite patination with areas of exposed copper. |

| Additional information |
Shadi Beg's reign over the Golden Horde (1399–1407) was defined by factional instability — he was himself a creature of the powerful emir Edigei, who placed him on the throne and effectively governed through him. The al-Jadidah mint, likely identifiable with New Sarai on the lower Volga, continued striking copper puls throughout this period of political dependency, producing local small change even as the Horde's territorial coherence was fracturing beyond recovery.
The "glass-like tamga" designation reflects a modern typological convention among researchers working from the Zeno corpus, distinguishing die families by tamga morphology rather than any textual differentiation on the coins themselves.
