| Obverse description | The obverse bears a multi-line Arabic legend filling the entire field in flowing Naskh script, conveying the Shahada and honorific titles of the ruler Shahrukh Mirza. The inscription is arranged in horizontal registers across the flan, with the kalima occupying the central area. The legend includes royal epithets referencing Shahrukh's sovereignty and divine sanction. The flan is irregular and slightly convex, typical of hammered Timurid silver coinage. No figural imagery is present, the design being entirely epigraphic in character. |
