| Reverse description | Central square cartouche containing a multi-line Arabic/Persian inscription recording the mint name (Herat) and the date of issue in the Islamic Hijri calendar. The surrounding annular field carries additional marginal legends, likely comprising the Kalima or other pious phrases customary on Timurid and Shaybanid coinage. The script is rendered in Nastaliq style, with the inscriptions carefully arranged within the geometric cartouche. Borders are plain and angular, framing both the central and peripheral inscription bands. |
