| Obverse description | Central field bearing a three-line religious inscription in elegant Nastaliq script, comprising the Shia Kalima — the Islamic declaration of faith expanded with the names of the Twelve Imams. The central panel is enclosed within a cartouche-style frame, surrounded by a circular marginal legend continuing the invocation of the Imams' names. The overall design is characteristic of Safavid epigraphic coinage, with the field entirely occupied by calligraphic text and no figural imagery. A beaded or pellet border runs along the outer rim. |

| Reverse description | The reverse bears a multi-line Nastaliq inscription in the central field identifying the ruler, mint, and regnal year. The legend reads 'بنده شاه ولایت سلیمان' (Servant of the Shah of Sovereignty, Sulayman) with the mint name Iravan (Yerevan) and the AH date 1105 (1694 CE). The inscription is arranged within a structured central panel, surrounded by a beaded border encircling the entire design, consistent with late Safavid hammered coinage conventions. |
