| Obverse description | Central field occupied by a multi-line Arabic legend disposed within a scalloped or lobed cartouche, characteristic of late Ilkhanid die-cutting conventions. The inscription, rendered in angular naskh script, carries the kalima or royal titulature of Muhammad Khan. A beaded or dotted border frames the outer rim, and the irregular flan edges are typical of hand-struck hammered coinage of the period. |

| Additional information |
Muhammad Khan was the last Ilkhanid puppet installed by the Jalayirids before the fiction of Ilkhanid continuity was finally abandoned. By 1338 the Ilkhanate had effectively ceased to function as a unified polity — the western territories were being carved between the Jalayirids, Chobanids, and Injuids — yet coins continued to be struck in Ilkhanid form because the dynastic name still carried legitimacy that upstart successor houses had not yet earned on their own. Nakhjawan, in the Araxes valley, remained a functioning mint through these fractured years.
