| Reverse description | The reverse displays a two-line Arabic mint and attribution legend within a plain circular border, centered in the field. The inscription reads 'Zarb Mashhad Muqaddas' (Struck at Holy Mashhad), identifying the mint city of Mashhad, the sacred Khorasani capital favored by Shahrokh during his second reign. The lettering is rendered in Nasta'liq script and is boldly struck, with the text occupying the central field. The coin exhibits the slightly irregular, hand-hammered flan typical of Afsharid provincial gold coinage of the mid-eighteenth century. |
