| Obverse description | Central field occupied by a multi-line Arabic religious legend in bold Naskh script, arranged in horizontal registers separated by a ruled line. The upper portion of the field bears the Kalima or Shahada declaration, while the lower register contains an additional inscription. The striking is characteristic of Timurid hammered coinage, with slightly irregular flan edges and moderate relief. A decorative border encloses the central text panel. |

| Reverse description | Central field filled with a densely packed multi-line Arabic legend in Naskh script, arranged in horizontal registers occupying the upper half of the flan, with the lower field largely blank due to the irregular hammered striking. The inscriptions record the name and titles of the ruler Shahrukh Mirza along with mint and date formulae typical of Timurid coinage. A marginal legend runs partially along the upper rim. The overall execution reflects the characteristic style of early fifteenth-century Timurid mint production. |
