| Obverse description | Central field dominated by a large tamgha (dynastic symbol) of the Great Khans, rendered in bold raised relief characteristic of early Mongol coinage. The tamgha consists of interlocking curvilinear elements forming a distinctive cartouche-like device. A circular border surrounds the central device, with fragmentary Arabic inscription visible along the outer periphery of the irregular flan. The die-work is typical of the rough, provincial hammered style employed in Mongol silver coinage of the mid-13th century. |
