| Obverse description | Central field occupied by multiple horizontal lines of Arabic inscription in bold Kufic-influenced script, arranged across the flan in three or four registers. The legends reference the ruler's titles and religious formulae. The flan is irregular with a slightly clipped edge at upper left, typical of hammered medieval Islamic coinage. A finely beaded border frames the inscribed field, partially visible along the coin's circumference. |

| Additional information |
The Qutlugh-Khanids ruled Kirman as vassals, first under the Mongol Il-Khanate, navigating the demands of overlords who required explicit acknowledgment on coinage. Muzaffar al-Din Muhammad Shah's issues from this period reflect that subordinate status — the Il-Khan's suzerainty would have been a political condition of the mint's operation, not a stylistic choice.
Album 1940 places this squarely within a well-documented but sparsely surviving regional series from southeastern Persia.
