| Obverse description | Central field occupied by a multi-line Arabic inscription in angular Kufic-influenced script, reading the mint formula denoting issue at Sarai, arranged across three registers. A Mongol tamga device appears within the legend field, serving as the dynastic emblem of the ruling house. The inscription is surrounded by a dotted border following the irregular flan edge. The die-struck relief is bold but unevenly distributed due to the hammered technique and irregular planchet. |

| Reverse description | Central field bearing the Islamic profession of faith (Kalima Shahada) in multiple lines of Arabic script, arranged in the typical Golden Horde format. The regnal year is incorporated within the legend, providing a precise date of issue. A dotted border encircles the design, conforming to the irregular outline of the hammered flan. The lettering is rendered in a bold, angular script characteristic of Golden Horde coinage of the late thirteenth century. |
