| Beschrijving voorzijde | The obverse displays multiple horizontal lines of Arabic script in naskh style filling the entire field, presenting the religious and royal titulature of the ruler Jahanshah. The legends are boldly struck in high relief against a flat flan, with individual letters and diacritical elements clearly rendered across three principal registers. The inscription occupies the full coin face without a distinct border, characteristic of Qara Qoyunlu hammered silver coinage. The die is slightly off-center, resulting in the partial truncation of marginal text at the periphery, as typical of hand-struck issues of this period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Jahanshah ruled the Qara Qoyunlu at their greatest territorial extent, controlling Azerbaijan, Iraq, and much of Persia simultaneously — a reach that brought him into direct conflict with the Timurid sultan Abu Sa'id. His coins were struck across a wide network of mints, and attribution often hinges on mint name and regnal formula rather than type alone. This piece references A#2493H, a relatively tight classification within what is actually a sprawling and poorly-documented series.
Jahanshah was killed by Uzun Hasan of the rival Aq Qoyunlu in 1467, and the dynasty collapsed within a year. Coins from his final decade are not rare, but cleanly attributable examples with legible mint data are.
