| Obverse description | Draped bust of the ruler Tutukhas facing right, wearing an elaborate stepped crown surmounted by a rosette or floral ornament at the apex. The effigy features a prominent earring and a schematized facial rendering characteristic of late Chorasmian die-cutting style. A beaded border encircles the coin's irregular flan. The portrait is rendered in low relief with simplified, stylized features typical of the Late Middle period of Chorasmian coinage. |
