| Obverse description | Irregular flan bearing a densely arranged multi-line Arabic legend in Naskh script occupying the entire field, with additional marginal inscriptions running along the periphery. The legend reads a Quranic verse (Surah An-Nisa, 4:59) commanding obedience to Allah, the Prophet, and those in authority. The hammered fabric results in an uneven, slightly concave surface with die-struck lettering of varying depth. No figurative imagery is present, consistent with Islamic numismatic tradition. |
