| Obverse description | The obverse presents a dense field of Arabic calligraphic inscriptions arranged in multiple registers within a circular border of dots. At the top, a circular cartouche encloses the name and titles of Imam Ahmad. Radiating Arabic legends below reference the ruler's epithets and royal titles, rendered in bold relief script. A crescent-shaped ornamental device divides the central legend from the lower inscription, with decorative dot punctuation separating the text registers. The entire design is framed by a raised inner ring and an outer beaded border. |
