| Obverse description | Three-line Arabic inscription occupying the central field of the flan, reading the Turkic benedictory phrase 'Qutlug Bulsun' (meaning 'May it be auspicious'). The legends are rendered in a plain, functional Naskh-influenced script typical of anonymous Golden Horde copper coinage. The flan is irregular and slightly convex, with the inscription partially visible due to the rough hammered manufacture and heavy patination. |

| Reverse description | The tamga of the House of Batu prominently displayed within an incuse triangular frame that dominates the central field. The dynastic tamga symbol features characteristic upward-projecting arms with small dots or pellets flanking the lower legs of the device. The triangle's sides are boldly rendered in raised relief, and the overall composition is centrally placed on the irregularly shaped flan. The surface shows heavy wear and dark cuprous patination consistent with extended circulation. |
