| Obverse description | Central field occupied by a multi-line Arabic inscription set within a rectangular cartouche, the legend likely comprising the ruler's name and titles in angular script. A decorative border or frame surrounds the cartouche, with additional marginal Arabic lettering partially visible in the outer field. The flan is irregular and the strike is characteristically uneven, consistent with hand-hammered copper coinage of the Timurid period. Surface shows heavy patination with dark brown encrustation throughout the field. |

| Reverse description | Central device features a prominent trefoil or tri-lobed geometric ornament composed of three interlocking circular motifs, each with a central dot or pellet, arranged within a stylized foliate or interlace design. This decorative scheme is characteristic of Timurid copper fals and likely served as a mint or workshop emblem. Fragmentary Arabic marginal legend surrounds the central device in the outer field, partially obscured by the irregular flan edge and surface corrosion. The overall composition is bold and deeply struck, with strong relief on the geometric elements despite the worn state of the coin. |
