| Obverse description | Crudely hammered copper fals of irregular round flan bearing the Arabic inscription 'Muhammad Khan' in two lines within the central field. The legend is rendered in an angular Kufic-influenced script typical of late Ilkhanid-era provincial coinage. The field surface is heavily granular and porous, consistent with base copper alloy struck under primitive workshop conditions. No decorative border or marginal legend is discernible. The overall style reflects the debased monetary production characteristic of the Jalayirid transitional period. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents the Islamic shahada in two lines across the central field, reading 'La ilaha illa Allah / Muhammad rasul Allah' in Arabic script. The inscription is crudely struck with uneven depth, showing typical characteristics of hand-hammered coinage from the declining Ilkhanid administrative sphere. The flan edges are irregular and the surface exhibits significant porosity and corrosion consistent with base copper composition. No mint name, date, or additional marginal legend is present. The script style is consistent with other late Ilkhanid provincial religious coinage of the mid-fourteenth century. |
