| Obverse description | Central field occupied by a multi-line Kufic legend arranged in four or five horizontal lines within a plain inner circle. The inscription contains the Islamic profession of faith (shahada) and additional religious formulae in angular Kufic script. The inner circle is enclosed by a narrow plain fillet, beyond which a marginal band carries a further Kufic legend running around the circumference. The outermost border consists of a row of short radial tick marks against the irregular scalloped rim, characteristic of Fatimid-influenced gold coinage of the period. |
