| Obverse description | The obverse bears a four-line Persian poetic legend in cursive Nasta'liq script, filling the entire coin field. The inscription, composed as a celebratory verse, reads that Iran regained its youth in the name of Shahrokh, who struck coins as Sahib-Qiran (Lord of the Auspicious Conjunction). The legend is arranged in flowing diagonal bands across the flan, characteristic of Afsharid hammered gold coinage. The script is deeply struck with bold, rounded strokes, and the field shows the irregular flan edges typical of hand-struck issues of this period. |
