| Obverse description | Central field dominated by the Jochi tamga, the dynastic tribal emblem of the House of Jochi, rendered in bold relief with a stylized trident-like form rising from a rectangular base. The tamga is flanked by Arabic inscription elements indicating the denominator value, reading approximately '48 to one yarmak.' The flan is irregular and somewhat squared, with a granular, textured surface consistent with crude hammered copper coinage of the Golden Horde period. Green patination and surface corrosion partially obscure the field. The overall execution is typical of the utilitarian aesthetic of Mongol-period pul coinage. |

| Reverse description | Central field bears the Jochi tamga once again in raised relief, mirroring the obverse design, with the characteristic forked upper element and rectangular lower body. Surrounding the tamga are Arabic legends identifying the mint as Qrim (Crimea). A row of pellets or bosses is visible along the upper register of the flan. The coin exhibits the same irregular, roughly polygonal flan shape and coarse hammered fabric common to Golden Horde copper issues of the reign of Mangu Timur. Surface shows brown and green patination with areas of cuprite. |
