| Obverse description | Central field entirely occupied by a multi-line Arabic religious and dynastic inscription arranged in horizontal registers, executed in bold raised Naskhi script characteristic of medieval Islamic hammered coinage. The legend fills the field from edge to edge, with individual letter strokes deeply struck and clearly delineated. A circular marginal legend in Arabic script runs within a plain linear border enclosing the central device. The flan is slightly irregular in form, consistent with hand-struck medieval Islamic gold coinage of the Kirman region. |

| Reverse description | Central field bearing a multi-line Arabic inscription in raised Naskhi script arranged in horizontal registers, recording the ruler's name and titles along with the Shahada or related formulaic religious text. The legends are boldly struck and well-defined against the flat field. A marginal circular legend in Arabic script is contained within a plain linear border ring. The overall layout follows the conventional aniconic epigraphic style standard to Qutlugh-Khanid gold coinage of the late thirteenth century. |
