| Obverse description | Central field bears a multi-line Arabic inscription naming the ruler Haydar Tora bin Shah Murad, enclosed within a teardrop-shaped cartouche. The cartouche is framed by a stylized foliate wreath rendered in the Central Asian Islamic decorative tradition. An outer decorative border of repeated ornamental motifs encircles the entire composition. The date in the Islamic lunar calendar appears within or adjacent to the central cartouche. |

| Reverse description | Central field contains a multi-line Arabic religious or mint inscription set within an octagonal frame, a form characteristic of Bukharan gold coinage of this period. Concentric decorative borders of geometric and foliate patterning surround the octagon in successive registers, filling the coin's field to the rim. The overall design reflects the ornate medallion style typical of Central Asian Islamic numismatic art of the early nineteenth century. |
