| Obverse description | Hammered silver field bearing a multi-line Arabic legend in bold nasta'liq script arranged in three horizontal registers across the coin's face, with the regnal inscription reading 'Shahrukh, servant of the threshold of Reza, struck by the command of God in the world' and the AH date 1162 inscribed in the lower register. A dotted border encircles the entire legend, framing the calligraphic text within the rounded flan. The lettering is deeply struck in relief, characteristic of Afsharid hammered coinage of the mid-eighteenth century. |
