| Obverse description | Larin formed from a bent silver wire bearing impressions derived from a round şahi coin die. The flattened central section retains partial Arabic legends, though the tight curvature of the flan renders only fragmentary letterforms legible. The field surface is irregular due to the wire-blank fabrication technique. Design details are largely indistinct on known examples due to the nature of the larin format. |

| Reverse description | Reverse impression similarly derived from a round şahi coin die, applied to the opposite face of the bent wire flan. Partial Arabic inscription is discernible, including the AH regnal year 982, corresponding to 1574 CE. The legend is fragmentary across all known specimens, with only isolated characters clearly readable. The irregular wire-blank surface further obscures fine detail. |
