Obverse description Densely inscribed field bearing bold Arabic calligraphy in the Naskh or Thuluth style, arranged within an oblique square (lozenge) cartouche set against a flat, unadorned ground. The central legend contains the ruler's name and royal titles in multiple lines, with additional inscriptions filling the outer margins of the flan. The hammered flan is irregular in outline, characteristic of Timurid-period Central Asian minting practice. The overall design is purely epigraphic, with no figural or geometric ornament.
