| Obverse description | Central field bears a multi-line Arabic inscription in flowing naskh script reading 'Husayn / servant of the threshold of Ali / struck at Mashhad / 1136', referencing the name of Sultan Husayn and the mint. The legends are arranged in horizontal registers across the flan, with additional marginal inscriptions partially visible along the irregular rim. The hammered flan displays the characteristic irregular outline typical of Safavid-era silver coinage. The strike is moderately well-centered, with bold, raised calligraphic lettering filling the field. |

| Reverse description | Central field carries a multi-line Arabic Shi'a profession of faith in naskh script: 'There is no god but God, Muhammad is the Messenger of God, Ali is the Friend of God', arranged in bold horizontal registers across the flan. The inscription fills the field, with marginal legends partially legible along the irregular edge of the hammered planchet. The calligraphy is characteristic of late Safavid mint production, with deeply cut, raised lettering. The reverse displays slight weakness at the periphery, consistent with the irregular flan typical of this issue. |
