| Obverse description | Central field depicts a Jochid tamga (dynastic emblem) rendered as a rectangular device with internal pellets, enclosed within a raised inner circle. The tamga is flanked and surrounded by multiple pellets distributed symmetrically within the inner circle, with a further ring of pellets arranged around the outer border of the flan, creating a concentric decorative composition typical of anepigraphic Golden Horde coinage. No inscriptions or legends appear on this side. |

| Reverse description | A stylized frontal sunface (solar deity mask) occupies the central field, depicting schematic facial features including eyes, nose, and a wide mouth rendered in a bold, primitive artistic style characteristic of Bulghar mint coinage of this period. Ten stylized pointed flames or rays radiate outward from the face, alternating with pellets, filling the surrounding field and approximating a solar disc composition. The design bears no inscriptions or legends, consistent with the anepigraphic classification of this emission. |
