| Obverse description | Three-line Persian poetic inscription in bold Nasta'liq script occupying the full field, divided by two horizontal ruled lines creating distinct registers. The upper register bears the opening hemistich glorifying the act of coining, the central register names Nader Shah as sovereign of the Iranian lands, and the lower register carries the mint name Tiflis in the exergue. The deeply struck calligraphy fills the flan to its edges, characteristic of Afsharid hammered silver coinage. |

| Obverse lettering | سکه بر زر کرد نام سلطنت را در جهان نادر ایران زمین و خسرو گیتی ستان ضرب تفلیس (Translation: The coins of gold placed the name of the sultan in the world, the Nadir of the land of Iran, the Caesar who seizes the universe Struck in Tiflis) |
| Reverse description | Multi-line Persian inscription in Nasta'liq script contained within a raised inner circle, with a wide plain border surrounding the central device. The legend references the auspicious date of accession and carries a proverbial phrase affirming divine providence. The regnal year appears at the foot of the inscription field. The broad flat border, characteristic of Afsharid Type B abbasis, is left entirely blank, contrasting with the densely inscribed central zone. |
