| Obverse description | Irregular hammered copper flan bearing four Mkhedruli (Georgian) letters arranged in a cruciform or dispersed pattern across the field, reading თ მ რ ზ, representing the abbreviated royal name T(ei)M(u)R(a)Z for King Teimuraz II. The characters are rendered in a bold, somewhat archaic hand typical of Georgian copper coinage of the mid-eighteenth century. The flan edges are uneven and show the characteristic irregularity of hand-hammered production. The field is granular with moderate relief on the lettering. |

| Reverse description | Irregular copper flan bearing a multi-line Arabic inscription in the Naskh script, disposed across the field in two or three lines. The legend reads فليس / ضرب / فلوس / ١١٦٢, indicating the mint name Tiflis (Tbilisi), the denomination puli (fulus), and the AH date 1162 (AD 1749). The lettering is boldly struck but shows some flatness and doubling consistent with hand-hammered technique. The coin's edges are irregular and the flan surface is granular. |
