| Obverse description | Three-line Arabic inscription occupying the entire field, struck in bold naskh script on an irregular flan typical of hammered Mongol coinage. The legends are arranged horizontally across the die, with the uppermost line set within a rectangular panel or cartouche framing the topmost inscription. The deeply struck characters show characteristic Mongol-period epigraphy, with the inscriptions referencing the Great Khan's authority and the mint name Shafurqan. The rough, granular surface of the bronze flan is consistent with the utilitarian nature of Central Asian jitals of this period. |

| Reverse description | Three-line Arabic inscription filling the field, arranged horizontally across the coin in a style consistent with Great Mongol coinage of the mid-thirteenth century. The legends are divided by linear separators forming distinct registers, with bold naskh lettering that partially extends to the flan edges due to the irregular hammered planchet. The inscriptions typically convey the date and additional formulaic text attributing sovereignty to the Great Khan Möngke. The coin exhibits natural die wear and slight striking irregularity characteristic of provincial Mongol mint production at Shafurqan. |
