Beschrijving keerzijde	Central field divided into registers bearing a multi-line Arabic inscription identifying the mint and regnal year, bordered by a linear frame. The mint name Herat (هرات) and the Hijri date appear prominently within the legend. Foliate or scrollwork ornaments are present in the lower segment of the flan, consistent with the artistic conventions of the Herat mint under Mahmud Shah. The hammered technique imparts a characteristically uneven surface and irregular outline to the coin.
