| Obverse description | Central field divided by a horizontal bar, above which appears a multi-line Arabic legend in angular script. Below the bar, additional Arabic calligraphic inscriptions occupy the lower field. The flan is irregular and slightly ragged at the edges, characteristic of hammered coinage of the Aq Qoyunlu period. The die is boldly struck with deeply incised letterforms typical of late fifteenth-century Persian mint practice. |
