| Reverse description | The reverse presents a multi-line Arabic inscription filling the field in a flowing cursive hand, consistent with the epigraphic style of 14th-century Badakhshani coinage. The text, likely incorporating the ruler's name and titles, is arranged in horizontal registers across the flan. Characteristic die wear and flan irregularities are visible, reflecting the hammered manufacture of this small silver fraction. No decorative border or geometric frame is present. |

| Additional information |
Badakhshan's Shahs operated as tributary rulers under Timurid pressure during this period, and their coinage reflects that precarious autonomy — locally struck but politically dependent. Bahramshah's issues are rare enough that die linkages across specimens have barely been studied, leaving questions about mint location and sequence largely open.
