| Reverse description | Hammered reverse field bearing multiple lines of Arabic naskh script filling the central area of the flan. The legend references the ruler Shahrukh Mirza along with his royal titles, and includes the mint name Sawah and the regnal or hijri year of issue. The inscription is arranged in a compact, multi-line format typical of Timurid tanka coinage, with a marginal legend partially visible along the border. The strike exhibits characteristic irregularities of hand-hammered production, with some areas of weakness at the flan edges. |
