| Obverse description | Central field contains a multi-line Arabic religious legend arranged within a lobed or cusped circular cartouche, typical of medieval Islamic hammered gold coinage. The Shahada inscription is distributed across three lines within the inner medallion, rendered in a dense Kufic-Naskhi transitional script. A secondary circular legend in Arabic script runs around the inner cartouche in the intermediate field. The outer marginal legend encircles the entire design, separated from the central zone by a plain linear border. The flan is irregularly shaped and slightly uneven, consistent with hand-struck medieval Islamic dinars. |

| Reverse description | Central field displays a three-line Arabic inscription within a lobed circular cartouche bearing the ruler's titles and name. The legend reads 'al-Sultan / al-A'zam / Kiya Afrasiyab', identifying the issuing ruler of the Afrasiyab dynasty of Mazandaran. An intermediate circular band carries an additional Arabic marginal legend encircling the central medallion. The outer field contains a further circumscribed legend separated by a linear border, following the standard Islamic dinar format. The surface retains strong relief with characteristic flow lines from the hammering process. |
