| Obverse description | Central field bears a two-line Arabic legend reading 'al-Sultan Shahrukh' (السلطان شاهرخ), the royal title and name of the Afsharid ruler Shahrukh, rendered in bold Nasta'liq calligraphic script. The inscription is enclosed within a circular dotted border and an outer raised ring, creating a neat concentric frame typical of Afsharid hammered coinage. The overall design is stark and calligraphic in character, with no figurative elements, in keeping with Islamic numismatic tradition. |
