| Obverse description | Two-line Persian calligraphic legend in Nasta'liq script fills the entire coin face, divided by a horizontal line into two registers. The upper register bears the royal epithet proclaiming Nader Shah as 'King of Kings,' while the lower register carries his title 'Sultan over the Sultans of the world, lord of the fortunate conjunction of planets.' The inscription is rendered in bold, flowing script against a flat field, with small pellet ornaments punctuating the design. The flan is irregular, characteristic of hammered coinage of the Afsharid period. |

| Reverse description | Central cartouche enclosing the mint name and AH date in Nasta'liq Persian script, surrounded by a decorative border of diagonal lines or floral sprays radiating outward toward the rim. The cartouche reads 'Struck at Shiraz 1152,' with the Hijri date prominently displayed in the lower portion of the inner field. The overall composition is typical of Afsharid hammered silver coinage, with the cartouche framing providing a clear focal point on an otherwise plain, slightly concave flan. |
