| Obverse description | Hammered copper flan bearing a three-line Arabic legend in the central field, arranged in horizontal registers and separated by plain line dividers. The inscription reads 'al-Sultan al-Adil / Khidr Khan / khallada mulkahu' (The Just Sultan / Khidr Khan / may his reign be eternal), rendered in a bold, slightly angular Naskh hand characteristic of mid-14th-century Golden Horde coinage. The flan is irregular in outline and shows characteristic die-struck relief with natural surface porosity. No border ornament is present, the legend filling the available field to the coin's edges. |

| Reverse description | Three-line Arabic legend in horizontal registers across the full field, reading 'Duriba / Saray al-Jadid / 762' (Struck / at New Saray / AH 762), denoting the mint name and Hijri date of issue. The script is a characteristic Golden Horde Naskh, boldly struck with moderate relief on an irregular flan showing the typical surface texture of hammered copper. Some examples of this type are known with the erroneous date 722 in place of 762, reflecting a die-engraving error. No border or decorative frame surrounds the legend. |
