| Obverse description | Central field bears a multi-line Arabic religious legend in angular naskh script, arranged in horizontal registers across the flan. The Shahada or royal titular inscription occupies the central zone, with additional formulaic text radiating toward the irregular, unstruck periphery. The die-struck design is characteristic of late Ilkhanid hammered coinage, with bold but somewhat crudely executed calligraphy. A marginal circular legend encircles the central field, partially visible along the coin's uneven rim. |

| Reverse description | The reverse displays a multi-line Arabic inscription in naskh script arranged in horizontal bands across the central field, typical of Ilkhanid-era silver coinage. A prominent decorative border, composed of a dotted or beaded inner circle, frames the central legend and separates it from the marginal inscription. The legends likely record the ruler's name, title, and the mint name Qumm along with the date of issue. The overall strike is uneven, consistent with hand-hammered production on an irregular planchet. |
