Obverse description	Central field displays a stylized frontal bust or head rendered in crude, deeply struck relief, characteristic of medieval Russian hammered copper coinage. The figure appears helmeted or crowned, with simplified facial features and broad shoulders visible beneath a horizontal line suggesting a garment or armor. The design occupies the majority of the flan, with the irregular coin edge cutting into the design periphery. The artistic execution is typical of 14th-century Nizhny Novgorod mint work, with bold, schematic forms rather than fine detail. No legible legend is present on this side.

Reverse description	The reverse field presents a crudely rendered quadruped animal, likely a lion or horse, depicted in profile facing right in a walking or rearing posture, executed in the simplified, schematic style typical of medieval Russian pulo coinage. Two pellets or dots are visible in the lower field, serving as decorative or separating elements. The design is contained within the irregular, flan with no formal border. The overall composition reflects the rudimentary die-cutting techniques employed in the Nizhny Novgorod-Suzdal principality during the late 14th century. No legible inscription is apparent.
