| Obverse description | Central field occupied by a multi-line Arabic legend in flowing Naskh script, arranged in horizontal registers across the flan. The inscription contains the Kalima or pious formulae along with the ruler's name and titulature. The lettering is boldly struck in high relief against a flat field, characteristic of Timurid hammered silver coinage. The irregular flan edge, typical of hand-cut planchets of the period, is visible around the periphery. An additional cursive marginal inscription runs along the upper rim. |
