Obverse description Central field features a stylized Arabic legend within a lobed or cusped cartouche, surrounded by a double circular border with pellet ornaments. The inscription, rendered in a cursive naskh-influenced hand typical of late Golden Horde coinage, occupies the majority of the flan. An ornamental rosette or star motif is visible at the top of the central device. The outer marginal band contains a partial Arabic legend running along the circumference, partially off-flan due to the irregular planchet. The overall style is characteristic of the late Jochid hammered silver series.

Reverse description The reverse displays a multi-line Arabic legend arranged horizontally across the field, typical of Golden Horde tanka coinage of the early 15th century. The inscription is set within a rectangular or linear framework and includes the mint name Bakuya (Baku) and the date in the Hijri calendar. Pellet border elements flank the text zones, with a partial marginal inscription visible along the rim. The lettering is executed in a bold, angular style consistent with late Jochid epigraphic conventions. The flan is irregular and shows characteristic die-shift displacement at the edges.
