| Obverse description | Within a raised circular border decorated with a continuous scrollwork or arabesque ornamental band, the Arabic word 'am (عام, meaning 'year') is inscribed in large calligraphic script occupying the upper field, with the Hijri date 1310 rendered in Eastern Arabic-style numerals below. The overall design is simple and typographic, with no figural imagery, consistent with Islamic numismatic tradition. |
