| Obverse description | Central field bearing multiple lines of Arabic script in a bold, cursive hand typical of Ilkhanid-era epigraphy, arranged in horizontal registers across the flan. The inscription, rendered in raised relief against a flat field, contains the ruler's name and titles. The irregular flan edge, characteristic of hammered medieval Islamic coinage, shows slight weakness at the margins. The overall style reflects the epigraphic tradition of Transoxiana in the early 14th century. |

| Additional information |
Issued under the Chaghatayid Khan Tarmashirin — whose regnal name "Sanjar" appears on this coinage — these dinars were struck across multiple mints simultaneously, a reflection of the fragmented administrative reality of the Chaghatai Khanate in its final coherent decades. Tarmashirin was unusual among his dynasty for converting to Islam and abandoning the traditional Mongol *yasa*, a decision that alienated the eastern nomadic factions and contributed directly to his overthrow and execution around 1334.
The Tirmidh mint attribution is the rarer of the three.
