| Obverse description | Hammered copper flan displaying a multi-line Arabic legend in the field, reading the honorific titles of Khizr Khan. The inscription, rendered in angular Kufic-influenced script, occupies the majority of the coin's surface and is arranged in two or three horizontal registers. The surfaces show heavy green patination consistent with prolonged burial. Strike is characteristic of mid-14th century Golden Horde hammered coinage, with uneven margins and irregular flan edges. |

| Reverse description | Reverse bears a multi-line Arabic legend in the field denoting the mint city and AH regnal year, arranged in horizontal registers across the coin's surface. The inscription references the Gulistan mint and the date 762 AH. The die work is typical of provincial Golden Horde coinage, with somewhat crude letter forms and an irregular strike. Green cuprite patination covers much of the surface, partially obscuring the lettering. |
