| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field bears a multi-line Arabic inscription in relief, executed in a bold Naskh script characteristic of Jalayirid coinage. The legend references the ruling Sultan Ahmad, with titles reading broadly as 'Sultan al-A'zam' (the Supreme Sultan) and 'Sultan Ahmad', arranged in three horizontal lines across the flan. The flan is irregularly shaped as typical of hammered medieval Islamic coinage, with surface patination consistent with age. A marginal legend or partial border inscription is visible at the periphery, partially off-flan. |

The Jalayirids ruled Iraq and northwestern Iran under constant pressure — first from the Golden Horde, then from Timur, whose campaigns sacked Baghdad in 1393 and again in 1401, forcing Sultan Ahmad ibn Uwais into repeated exile. Coinage from the Shemakhi mint, located in what is now Azerbaijan, reflects those intervals when Jalayirid authority briefly reasserted itself in the Caucasian periphery rather than the dynastic heartland.
The thirty-year span of this issue masks significant discontinuity. Ahmad was physically absent from his territories for years at a stretch, sheltering with the Mamluks and the Qara Qoyunlu in turn.
