Obverse description Central square cartouche containing the name and titles of the ruler Ibrahim Bahadur Khan in Arabic script, rendered in the nastaliq calligraphic style. Additional inscriptions occupy the surrounding fields within the coin's irregular flan, typical of hammered Central Asian silver coinage of the period. The overall design follows the standard Shaybanid formula of text-based composition without figural imagery.
