| Obverse description | Central field dominated by a stylized tamgha (dynastic emblem) rendered in bold relief within a circular inner border. Arabic legend surrounding the tamgha reads the mint name and date, with a noted scribal error recording '292' in place of the correct Hijri year '692'. An outer beaded border frames the entire design. The flan is irregular in shape, as is typical of hammered Golden Horde dirhams of this period. |

| Reverse description | Central field bearing a two-line Arabic religious inscription in bold Kufic-influenced script, enclosed within a lobed or petal-form ornamental border. The surrounding margin is decorated with a segmented geometric frame, with dot embellishments at intervals. An outer beaded circle completes the design. The style is consistent with anonymous Golden Horde issues struck at the Bilar mint during the reign of Toqta. |
