| Obverse description | Central field bearing the two-line Persian nastaliq legend reading 'Nadir al-Sultan' (نادر السلطان), the royal title of Nader Shah Afshar, executed in bold calligraphic strokes. The inscription is contained within a plain circular border, typical of Afsharid hammered gold coinage. The irregular flan displays characteristic uneven edges consistent with hand-struck production. The field surface is slightly convex, with the legend well-centered for an issue of this type. |

| Reverse description | Central field displaying a multi-line Persian nastaliq inscription invoking divine favor upon the ruler and recording the mint and date of issue. The legend reads 'khallada allah mulkahu darb Tiflis 1152' (May God perpetuate his reign, struck at Tiflis, AH 1152), arranged across the flan in characteristic Afsharid style. The Tiflis mint name appears prominently, identifying this as a Georgian mint issue under Nader Shah's dominion. The hammered flan shows slight irregularity at the periphery, consistent with the production methods of the period. |
