| Obverse description | Facing bust of the ruler depicted in a schematic, stylized manner characteristic of Sogdian coinage, the effigy shown nearly full-face with slightly left-turning aspect. The ruler wears an elaborate decorative crown or ceremonial headdress adorned with dotted and foliate ornamental elements. Facial features are rendered in a bold, flat style with prominent eyes, a strong nose, and a small mouth. The field surrounding the bust is plain, with the irregular flan edge visible at the periphery. |

| Reverse description | Central field occupied by the distinctive single tamgha of the Ustrushana principality, serving as the dynastic emblem of the ruling house. The tamgha is encircled by a Sogdian inscription arranged in a ring around the device, though the legend is broken and partially illegible at the top and bottom due to the irregular flan. The overall composition follows the standard typology of Ustrushanan bronze coinage of the early medieval period. |
