| Obverse description | Central field features a multi-line Arabic Kufic inscription arranged in horizontal registers within a plain inner border. The legend, characteristic of Abbasid-influenced provincial coinage, occupies the majority of the flan. The surrounding field bears a marginal legend running along the outer rim, partially legible due to the irregular flan and wear. The overall style reflects the epigraphic hammered coinage tradition of Central Asian vassal rulers of the 9th century. |

| Reverse description | Central field displays a multi-line Kufic Arabic inscription arranged in horizontal registers, enclosed within a beaded inner circle characteristic of Abbasid-period provincial fulus. A marginal legend encircles the design along the outer rim. The strike is slightly off-center on the irregular copper flan, consistent with hand-hammered production techniques of the region. The style reflects the epigraphic conventions of Transoxanian vassal coinage under nominal Abbasid suzerainty in the late 9th century. |
