| Obverse description | Multi-line Arabic inscription contained within a lobated square frame, itself set within a circular border. The legend, struck in relief on a flat field, displays the characteristic Ayyubid epigraphic style with angular Kufic-influenced characters. The overall design is typical of Ayyubid fals coinage, with the geometric framing device serving as the primary decorative and organizational element. The coin exhibits the irregular flan and uneven strike characteristic of hammered bronze production of the period. |

| Reverse description | Multi-line Arabic inscription set within a lobated square frame enclosed by a circular border, mirroring the compositional arrangement of the obverse. The raised Arabic legend occupies the central field, rendered in a bold epigraphic style consistent with Ayyubid mint practice at Aleppo. The lobated square cartouche, a hallmark of Ayyubid decorative convention, lends geometric structure to the design. Weak areas of strike and flan irregularities are consistent with the hammered technique used for bronze fractional coinage of this era. |
