| Obverse description | Irregular hammered silver flan bearing multiple lines of boldly struck Arabic calligraphic legend occupying the entire field, executed in a characteristic Naskh-influenced hand typical of Muzaffarid coinage. The inscriptions, arranged in horizontal registers, carry the royal titulature and Islamic profession of faith. Small pellet or star ornaments serve as separators between lines of text. The legend is set within a plain linear border that follows the irregular contour of the flan. |

| Reverse description | Reverse of this irregular hammered dirham displays multiple horizontal registers of Arabic script in the field, presenting additional elements of the royal titulature and mint or regnal formulae consistent with Muzaffarid dynastic coinage practice. The lower portion of the flan features a partial beaded or dotted border, partially visible due to the irregular shape of the planchet. The strike is characteristic of medieval Islamic hand-struck coinage, with areas of weakness and flan irregularity typical of the series. |
