| Obverse description | Stylized solar face depicted in low relief at center, with schematically rendered facial features including eyes and nose visible within a radiate solar disc. The design is boldly struck in a primitive, iconic style characteristic of Georgian copper coinage of this period. The field is flat and unadorned, with no surrounding legend. The irregular flan edges reflect the hand-hammered production technique. |

| Reverse description | Central field occupied by a bold Arabic inscription arranged in multiple lines, reading the mint formula in Arabic script. The legend records the denomination (fulus), mint city (Tiflis), and the AH date 1090 (AD 1679). The lettering is struck in a cursive Naskh-influenced style typical of Georgian-issued Islamic copper coinage, with the numerals and text filling most of the flan. The flan edges are irregular, consistent with hand-hammered production. |
