| Obverse description | Facing bust of an armed prince rendered in a primitive, archaic style characteristic of early Muscovite coinage, depicted with a helmet or cap and wearing armor. The figure occupies the central field of the irregularly shaped flan. A partial Cyrillic princely title legend surrounds the figure, though much of the inscription is incomplete or off-flan due to the irregular striking. The engraving is bold but schematic, reflecting the hand-worked die technique of late 14th-century Russian minting. |

| Reverse description | Arabic or pseudo-Arabic inscription filling the field, arranged in multiple lines in the style commonly found on early Muscovite denga coinage of this period, reflecting the political and commercial influence of the Golden Horde. The lettering is cursive and densely packed across the irregular flan, with portions of the legend lost at the clip edges. This type of Tatar-influenced reverse legend is typical of coins issued by Dmitry Donskoy following the introduction of coinage in Moscow circa 1381-1382. |
