| Obverse description | Central field occupied by multiple lines of Arabic script in a bold, angular hand typical of late Jalayirid coinage, presenting the royal titulature and religious formulae of Sultan Husayn II. The legends are arranged in horizontal registers across the flan, with the field exhibiting the characteristic rough texture of a hammered silver flan. The script is raised in relief against a flat background, with portions of the outer marginal legend visible along the rim. The irregular flan edges are consistent with hand-struck production of the early fifteenth century. |
