| Obverse description | Central field bearing a multi-line Arabic religious inscription in bold naskh script, including the Shahada (declaration of faith), arranged within a plain border. The legends are deeply struck in high relief against a flat field, typical of medieval Persian hammered coinage. The flan is irregular and slightly ragged at the edges, consistent with hand-struck dirhams of the Atabeg period. |

| Reverse description | Reverse field displays a multi-line Arabic inscription in naskh script occupying the central area, recording the ruler's name and titles associated with Yusufshah of the Atabegs of Yazd. The legends are arranged in horizontal lines within the flan, bordered by a simple circular rim. The strike is characteristic of late 13th-century provincial Persian hammered silver coinage, with moderate die wear and surface porosity. |
