| Obverse description | Cyrillic inscription occupying the central field, rendered in the characteristic early medieval Russian wire-money style typical of Muscovite denga coinage of the early fifteenth century. The legend is arranged within the flan in multiple lines, with letters of archaic form. The striking is irregular, as is typical of hammered wire coinage of this period, resulting in partial legend visibility across the planchet. |

| Reverse description | A leopard or stylized feline figure depicted in profile facing left, rendered in the crude but vigorous graphic style characteristic of early Muscovite hammered coinage. The animal is shown in a walking or prowling posture, occupying the central field of the irregular flan. The design is typical of the heraldic motifs employed on the denga coinage of Grand Prince Vasily I, reflecting Tatar artistic influences absorbed during the period of Mongol suzerainty. |
