Beschrijving voorzijde Hammered silver flan bearing a two-line Persian poetic legend in elegant Nasta'liq script, filling the entire field without a formal border. The inscription reads across two registers, praising the coinage issued in the name of the Imam and the Master of Time (Sahib al-Zaman), invoking Shi'a religious authority. The calligraphy is characteristic of Zand-period die-cutting, with flowing strokes and occasional decorative flourishes. The irregular flan edge, typical of hammered coinage of the period, is visible around the periphery. No figurative imagery appears; the design is entirely epigraphic.

Opschrift voorzijde شد آفتاب و ماه زر و سیم در جهان از سکه امام بحق صاحب الزمان
(Translation: The sun and moon have become gold and silver throughout the world, by the coins of the Imam, indeed, the Master of Time.)
Beschrijving keerzijde Hammered silver flan bearing a three-line epigraphic field in Nasta'liq script, arranged across the coin without a formal border. The upper portion displays the mint epithet 'Dar al-Amana' (Abode of Security) alongside the mint name Isfahan (Esfahan), while the lower register bears the word 'zarb' (struck) and the AH date 1178. The invocation 'Ya Karim' (O Generous One), referencing both the epithet of God and the regnal name of Karim Khan Zand, appears prominently. Small decorative dot-rosette ornaments punctuate the legend, consistent with Zand-period Isfahan mint style. The flan is irregular and slightly clipped at the edges, as expected of hammered coinage.
