| Obverse description | Central field occupied by multiple lines of Arabic script in a bold, angular hand typical of late Jalayirid coinage, presenting the royal titulature and religious formulae of Sultan Husayn II. The legends are arranged in horizontal registers across the flan, with the field exhibiting the characteristic rough texture of a hammered silver flan. The script is raised in relief against a flat background, with portions of the outer marginal legend visible along the rim. The irregular flan edges are consistent with hand-struck production of the early fifteenth century. |

| Reverse description | The reverse displays a large, boldly struck Arabic inscription arranged within a scalloped or lobed cartouche at the center of the field, characteristic of Jalayirid mint practice. The central legend is enclosed within a curved, arch-like border, with additional marginal text running along the inner periphery of the flan. The lettering is rendered in a robust, slightly compressed Naskh or Thuluth style, with the relief characters standing prominently above the flat silver ground. The overall composition is typical of late Jalayirid fractional coinage struck at the Hilla mint. |
