| Obverse description | Central field dominated by a bold Arabic legend set within a circular inner border, presenting the name and titles of the issuing authority in stylized script. A secondary marginal legend in Arabic encircles the central device, running between two concentric border lines. The lettering is executed in a robust, slightly angular hand characteristic of Timurid hammered coinage of the late fourteenth century. The irregular flan results in partial striking at the periphery, with some marginal text off-flan. The overall composition reflects the epigraphic style prevalent at the Yazd mint during the joint-name coinage of Timur and Mahmud Khan. |
