| Reverse description | The reverse field bears a two- or three-line Arabic inscription in naskh or naskh-derived script, occupying the majority of the flan. The legend likely records the mint name Balkh and possibly a date or epithet associated with Shahrukh Mirza's reign. The lettering is bold and clearly struck, though partially flat due to the irregular flan and characteristic uneven pressure of hammered production. Green patination and minor surface encrustation are present throughout the field. |
