Obverse description Central field bearing the royal epithet 'Al-Sultan Shahrokh' rendered in bold nastaliq calligraphy, the Arabic script disposed across the flan in two lines with characteristic flowing strokes. The legend is framed by a dotted inner border encircling the entire design, with the coin's hammered fabric producing an irregular, slightly convex surface typical of Afsharid struck silver. The field around the inscription shows characteristic die-struck texture with minor granular ornamentation flanking the text.
