| Obverse description | Central field occupied by a Jochid tamga device enclosed within a double concave hexagonal frame, the inward-curving sides of which create a distinctive star-like border. The tamga appears as a stylized trident or bow-and-arrow symbol characteristic of Golden Horde coinage. A beaded border runs along the outer edge of the flan. The coin is anepigraphic, bearing no inscriptions on either side. The die work is bold and deeply struck, typical of hammered Bulghar mint production of the late 13th to early 14th century. |

| Reverse description | Central field displays an unidentified ornamental or heraldic symbol enclosed within a double concave hexagonal frame matching that of the obverse, with the inward-curving sides forming a recessed geometric border. The symbol, whose precise meaning remains unexplained in numismatic literature, appears as an abstract device possibly of tribal or administrative significance. A beaded border is visible along the coin's periphery. The reverse, like the obverse, is entirely anepigraphic. The flan is irregular in shape, consistent with the hand-struck production methods of the Bulghar mint. |
