| Obverse description | Diademed bust of a long-haired ruler facing left, depicted in a schematic Central Asian style typical of Sogdian-influenced coinage. The hair falls in thick, rope-like strands along the neck and behind the head. The facial features are rendered in low relief, with a pronounced nose and simplified eye. The field surrounding the effigy is plain and largely unadorned. |

| Reverse description | A tamgha (dynastic symbol) of the Kangju rulers facing right, distinguished by a pellet at its centre, occupying the central field of the coin. The tamgha is encircled by a Sogdian legend arranged around the periphery, reading in the Sogdian script. The overall design is characteristic of early medieval Chach (Tashkent region) coinage, combining a symbolic dynastic mark with a dedicatory inscription identifying the issuing ruler. |
