| Obverse description | Central field occupied by a dense Arabic inscription in Naskh script, arranged in multiple lines filling the flan. The legend references the ruling khan Jani Beg and likely incorporates a portion of the kalima or royal titulature. The hammered fabric results in an irregular, slightly concave surface with moderate relief; the field shows characteristic patination of circulated copper with green-brown encrustation. Border is plain and undefined due to the irregular flan. |

| Reverse description | Central field bears a multi-line Arabic inscription in Naskh script, likely containing the mint name Khwarizm (خوارزم) and the date of issue expressed in the Islamic AH calendar. The legend is arranged within a rectangular framework or cartouche, with additional marginal text disposed around the border. The hammered strike produces uneven relief typical of mid-14th century Golden Horde copper coinage, with surface oxidation lending a dark patina to the coin. |
