| Reverse description | The reverse displays a multi-line Arabic inscription arranged within a square cartouche set against a round flan, a hallmark of Timurid coin design. The central panel contains the mint name Herat (هرات) and the AH regnal year, rendered in bold Naskh script. A surrounding marginal legend, partially visible at the coin's edge, carries additional pious phrases or titles. The deeply incised lettering shows typical characteristics of hammered Timurid silver, with some weakness at the periphery due to irregular flan preparation. The overall composition reflects the formal epigraphic tradition of Timurid monetary art. |
