| Obverse description | Densely inscribed field bearing multiple lines of Arabic script in a bold, angular hand typical of late Ilkhanid and post-Mongol Turkmen coinage. The legends, arranged in horizontal registers across the flan, contain the ruler's name and titles. The entire design is enclosed within a plain linear border surrounded by a rope or beaded outer rim. The irregular flan and characteristic die-struck surface reflect standard hammered production of the period. |
