Obverse description Central field bearing a tamga (dynastic Mongol tribal symbol), crudely struck on an irregular flan typical of Golden Horde copper coinage. The tamga serves as the principal device, with the mint name of Qrim (Crimea) indicated in the legend. The design is characteristic of the utilitarian aesthetic of Jochid pul coinage.

Reverse description Inscription in Old Uyghur script occupying the central field, arranged in multiple lines across the flan. The legend, characteristic of Golden Horde coinage issued during the reign of Mangu Timur, is struck on a roughly shaped copper flan with uneven edges typical of hammered Jochid pul issues. The script is cursive and partially legible due to weak strike and die wear.
