| Obverse description | Irregular hammered silver flan bearing a multi-line Arabic legend in the field, struck in the characteristic style of late Shirvanshah coinage. The inscription, arranged in horizontal lines across the centre of the coin, contains the ruler's name and titles in angular script. The flan shows typical irregularities of hand-struck production, with the legend partially weak at the margins due to the uneven planchet. The overall style is consistent with provincial Islamic hammered coinage of the early sixteenth century. |
