| Obverse description | Central field bears a dense Arabic religious invocation in multiple lines, executed in a somewhat crude hammered style characteristic of late 18th-century Caucasian coinage. The legend reads 'ya saheb al-zaman' (Oh, Owner of Time), a Shia devotional formula invoking the Hidden Imam. The inscription is set within an irregular flan with no decorative border, reflecting the anonymous nature of the issue. The lettering is bold but unevenly spaced, typical of the Shamakhi mint output of this period. |
