| Obverse lettering | شد آفتاب و ماه زر و سیم در جهان از سکه امام بحق صاحب الزمان ۱۱٨٠ (Translation: The sun and moon have become gold and silver throughout the world, by the coins of the Imam, indeed, the Master of Time.) |
| Reverse description | Hammered silver flan with a two-line Arabic invocation and mint formula arranged in horizontal registers across the central field, enclosed within a plain linear border. The upper line bears the pious invocation 'Ya Karim' (O Generous One, an epithet of both God and the ruler Karim Khan), while the lower line records the mint name 'Zarb Shiraz' (struck at Shiraz). Foliate and arabesque scroll ornaments occupy the marginal field surrounding the central inscription panel. The flan exhibits the characteristic irregular outline of hand-struck Zand coinage. |
