| Obverse description | Bold Nasta'liq calligraphic inscription occupying the central field, arranged within a hexagonal cartouche formed by interlaced strapwork with pretzel-shaped (Solomon's knot) ornamental ties at each of the six corners. The legend identifies the denomination and mint, reading 'Dangi, struck in the town of Balkh.' The surrounding field is plain, and the flan is struck on an irregular, hand-cut copper blank typical of Timurid hammered coinage. The overall design reflects the refined calligraphic tradition of Timurid mint practice. |
