| Obverse description | Crudely rendered figure of a rhinoceros moving to the right, occupying the central field of the flan. The animal is depicted in profile with characteristic stocky body and prominent horn, rendered in a naive, schematic style typical of Georgian copper coinage of the period. A floral ornament appears above the animal in the upper field. The striking is irregular, consistent with hand-hammered production on an uneven planchet. |

| Reverse description | A multi-line Persian inscription in Naskh script occupies the central field, reading from right to left across the flan. The legend records the mint name (Tiflis), the denomination (fulus), and the Hijri date 1112 (AD 1701). The strike is weak in areas due to the hammered technique and irregular planchet, with the text partially flattened at the edges. |
