| Reverse description | Distorted and partially legible Arabic inscription occupying the central field, arranged in multiple lines. The legend, heavily degraded and crudely struck, references the ruler's name and title in a degenerate cursive style consistent with the debased copper coinage of the Chupanid period. The irregular flan and weak strike render portions of the inscription nearly illegible. |

| Additional information |
Sulayman Khan was the last nominal Ilkhan, a child ruler installed by the Chupanid amir Hasan Kuchak in 1339 as a dynastic fiction — the Ilkhanate had effectively collapsed after Abu Sa'id's death in 1335 left no male heir. Coins struck in Sulayman's name gave Hasan Kuchak's regime a veneer of legitimacy it had no other means of obtaining. The arrangement lasted only until 1343, when Hasan Kuchak was himself murdered by a rival Jalayirid faction, ending both the puppet reign and the Chupanid grip on Azerbaijan.
