| Reverse description | Central field features a prominent square cartouche enclosing multiple lines of Arabic legend in bold Naskh script, bearing the Shahada or dynastic religious formula. Outside the cartouche, marginal Arabic inscriptions run in the surrounding field, including the mint name Sultaniya and additional titulature. A dotted border ring frames the outer legend, consistent with Jalayirid coinage conventions. The relief is bold and well-struck for a hammered issue, though the irregular flan results in partial legend loss at the periphery. |

| Additional information |
The Jalayirid Sultanate under Sultan Husayn I occupied an increasingly precarious position during precisely these years — pressure from the Muzaffarids to the south and the looming threat of Timurid expansion made the 1370s a period of constant military and fiscal strain. The Sultaniya mint, originally established under the Ilkhanids as a major production center in northwestern Iran, continued operating under successive successor dynasties largely through institutional inertia.
Husayn I was killed in 1382, the year this issue's production window closes.
