Obverse description Irregularly shaped hammered copper flan bearing a bold Persian Nastaliq inscription in the field, reading 'Khuqand zarb' (struck at Khoqand). The legend is rendered in a fluid, cursive hand characteristic of Central Asian Islamic coinage of the period, with the strokes occupying the majority of the flat, unornamented field. The surface exhibits the typical textured, slightly porous finish of base-metal hammered coinage from the Khoqand Khanate, with no figurative devices or border elements.

Reverse description Plain hammered copper field bearing a sparse Persian Nastaliq inscription reading 'rayij' (current, i.e. in circulation), centrally placed within the irregular flan. The legend is executed in a simple, bold cursive style with minimal supplementary decorative elements, consistent with the anonymous pul coinage of the Khoqand Khanate. The flan edges are ragged and uneven, reflecting the hand-cut and hammered production method standard for this denomination and period.
