| Obverse description | Central field occupied by multiple horizontal lines of Arabic religious and titulary legend in angular Kufic-influenced script, arranged within a square or rectangular framework. The inscription likely contains the Shahada and the name of the Ilkhanid overlord. The field is bounded by a circular marginal legend in cursive Naskh script running along the inner border. The overall style is characteristic of Salghurid-period Islamic gold coinage struck in the Persian tradition. |

| Reverse description | Reverse displays multiple horizontal lines of Arabic inscription in Naskh script filling the central field, containing the name and titles of the ruling queen Abish bint Sa'd, the Salghurid Atabeg of Fars, along with the mint name Shiraz and the date in the Hijri calendar. A marginal circular legend in Arabic script borders the design, consistent with Ilkhanid-period vassal coinage conventions. The lettering is boldly rendered against a flat hammered gold field with slight irregularity typical of hand-struck medieval Islamic dinars. |
