| Reverse description | Central field bearing a multi-line Arabic legend in Naskh script, identifying the ruler Shahrukh Mirza with his titles and honorifics, along with mint and date formulae partially visible in the field. A prominent countermark impression is applied over the original die design, partially obscuring underlying legends; this secondary stamp is characteristic of the revalidation practice employed under Shahrukh's monetary reforms. The flan is irregular and broadly spread, with the strike somewhat uneven, as is typical of hammered Timurid silver coinage of this period. |
