| Reverse description | Reverse field displaying a multi-line Arabic inscription in Naskh script, likely containing the kalima or a royal title formula referencing the Ilkhan Sulayman, distributed across several horizontal registers. The design is characteristic of late Ilkhanid provincial issues, with crowded script filling the available flan space and a marginal legend partially legible around the periphery. The strike is typical of hammered provincial silver, with weak areas and irregular flan edges. |

| Additional information |
The Chupanid amirs never held the Ilkhanid throne themselves — they ruled through a succession of puppet khans while the Ilkhanate was already dissolving around them. Sulayman, enthroned under Chupanid control around 1339, was the last figure propped up in this arrangement before the dynasty collapsed entirely. The "eye shape" designation refers to the flan form, a local striking convention that distinguishes these provincial issues from the broader Ilkhanid monetary output and points to a mint operating well outside central administrative oversight.
