Reverse description Central field bearing three lines of Arabic legend in the Timurid style, reading 'al-Sultan al-A'zam' (the Supreme Sultan) in the upper register, 'Shah Rukh' (the ruler's name) in the middle register, and the mint formula 'Duriba bi-Sultaniyya' (struck at Sultaniyya) in the lower register. The inscriptions are contained within a plain rectangular cartouche, surrounded by an outer border. The flan is irregular and slightly clipped at the edges, consistent with hammered silver coinage of the early 15th-century Timurid mint at Soltaniyeh.
