| Obverse description | Entirely epigraphic field bearing a multi-line Arabic legend in bold Naskh script, issued in the name of the Chagatai overlord Sultan Mahmud Khan with acknowledgment of his supreme authority by yarligh (royal decree), followed by the name and title of Emir Timur Gurkan. The inscription fills the full flan and is enclosed within a beaded border. The legend asserts both the nominal suzerainty of the Chagatai khan and the effective power of Timur as ruler. No figural or geometric ornament appears; the design is purely calligraphic in the Central Asian Timurid tradition. |
