Obverse lettering چو مهر و ماه زر شاهنشهى محمود عالم شد كه نقد قلبش از فيض خدا از غش مسلم شد ضرب اصفهان
Reverse description Hammered silver flan displaying the Shahada (Islamic declaration of faith) in bold nasta'liq script across two horizontal registers: 'La ilaha illa Allah, Muhammad rasul Allah' (There is no god but God, Muhammad is the messenger of God). The AH date 1135 appears in the lower portion of the field. The legend is crisply struck relative to the irregular flan, with minimal border decoration, consistent with Hotaki hammered coinage practice.
