Reverse description Central field displaying a four-line Arabic inscription in raised naskh script arranged in horizontal registers, proclaiming the royal titulature of the issuing ruler. The legend reads 'al-Sultan al-A'zam Uwais Bahadur Khan', identifying Shaykh Uways I as supreme sultan and sovereign. The inscription is enclosed within a double linear border with a decorative outer frame, consistent with Jalayirid numismatic conventions. The flan is irregular and slightly convex, with die weakness evident toward the margins, characteristic of hand-struck silver coinage of the Ilkhanid successor states.
