Obverse description Bust of a ruler facing right in profile, rendered in a schematic and stylized local artistic tradition characteristic of ancient Choresmian coinage. The head is surmounted by a horned crown or headdress adorned with pellets, a common regal attribute in Central Asian numismatic iconography. The drapery at the shoulder is rendered in bold, simplified lines. No surrounding legend is present; the design occupies the full flan within an irregular hammered field.

Reverse description Central field occupied by a Choresmian dynastic tamga or monogram, composed of curved and angular strokes arranged symmetrically, rendered in a bold and schematic style typical of Central Asian civic coinage of the early centuries CE. The device features a hooked upper element above a heart-shaped or looped central form, with two flanking curved strokes at the base resembling outstretched arms or legs. No surrounding inscription is present; the symbol is positioned centrally on an otherwise plain, undecorated field.
