| Obverse description | Central field bears a multi-line Arabic religious legend in Naskh script, reading the Shahada and the name of Ghazan Mahmud Khan, arranged in horizontal registers. The inscription is enclosed within a geometric or floral border typical of post-reform Ilkhanid coinage. The strike is characteristic of hammered production, resulting in a slightly irregular flan with moderate relief. The field shows the bold, angular script style associated with the monetary reform of 694 AH introduced by Ghazan Khan. |

| Reverse description | The reverse displays a multi-line Arabic inscription in Naskh script across the central field, bearing the mint name and Hijri date along with additional honorific titulature of the Ilkhan. The legend is arranged in horizontal registers within a circular border. The flan is irregular in shape, consistent with hand-struck hammered coinage. The style and layout conform to the standardized post-reform dirham type introduced under Ghazan Khan's monetary reform of 694 AH. |
