| Reverse description | Central triangular cartouche enclosed within a double border, the outer border composed of a dotted rim and the inner of a plain linear ring, with a large annulet at the center of the triangle. Three decorative vignettes in the form of 'happiness knots' (an auspicious interlaced ornament common in Golden Horde copper coinage) are placed one in each segment between the sides of the triangle and the surrounding border. A single pellet is placed in each of the three corners of the cartouche. The overall design is deeply impressed with moderate relief, consistent with hammered production on an irregular copper flan. |

| Additional information |
The White Horde, the eastern wing of the fragmented Golden Horde operating across the Syr Darya steppes, issued copper puls at Sygnaq — a Syr Darya trading town that functioned as one of its principal administrative centers. By 1376, the White Horde was navigating increasingly precarious politics, caught between the ambitions of Tokhtamysh to the west and Timurid pressure building from the south. Sygnaq would fall definitively to Tokhtamysh within a few years of this striking.
The triangle type is a die-classified variant within the Zeno corpus, distinguishable from other Sygnaq puls by its geometric countermark or field arrangement rather than by issuer text alone.
