| Obverse description | Central field occupied by a multi-line Arabic Kalima inscription arranged in three to four horizontal lines within a plain inner circle. The shahada legend is executed in a bold, angular Kufic script characteristic of early Abbasid-influenced Samanid coinage. A secondary marginal legend in Kufic script encircles the central roundel, separated by a beaded or dotted border ring. The outer margin contains a continuous Quranic or mint formula inscription running along the full circumference of the flan. The overall design is aniconic and purely epigraphic, consistent with Islamic numismatic convention of the 4th century AH. |
