| Obverse description | Central field occupied by a multi-line Arabic legend in crude Naskh script, typical of late Jalayirid hammered coinage. The inscription is distributed across the flan in several registers, with the shahada or royal titulature filling the available space. The strike is uneven and the flan irregular, as is characteristic of provincial mint production of this period. Corrosion and die wear are visible across the surface, partially obscuring some letterforms. |

| Reverse description | The reverse displays a multi-line Arabic inscription in Naskh script arranged in horizontal registers across the central field, with a prominent vertical stroke dividing the left portion of the flan. The legend, likely containing the ruler's name and mint or date formulae, is struck in relatively bold relief against a flat field. The hammered flan shows characteristic irregular edges and surface roughness. The overall style reflects the late Jalayirid provincial mint tradition of Shushtar. |
