| Obverse description | Central field occupied by a multi-line Arabic religious legend arranged within a decorative lobed or cusped cartouche, characteristic of late Ilkhanid hammered gold coinage. The shahada and related invocations are inscribed in bold Naskh script across three registers. A marginal legend in Arabic script encircles the central device, running along the inner border of the coin. The flan is irregular and slightly ragged at the rim, consistent with hand-struck production. The overall layout follows the standard Ilkhanid epigraphic dinar format of the mid-14th century. |

| Reverse description | Central field bearing a multi-line Arabic legend within a lobed cartouche surmounted by an arched or mitre-shaped decorative header, a distinctive feature of the Taghay Timur type. The inscriptions in Naskh script reference the ruler's name and titles, along with the mint name Amul and the date of issue. A circular marginal legend in Arabic script surrounds the central panel, separated by a double line border. The flan edges are irregular, typical of hammered manufacture, and minor flat strikes are visible in parts of the field. The reverse design conforms closely to the epigraphic conventions established for Ilkhanid gold dinars of Khorasan. |
