| Obverse description | Central field bears a multi-line Arabic religious legend arranged in horizontal registers, typical of Abbasid-influenced Islamic coinage. The inscription is executed in an angular Kufic script with pronounced vertical strokes. A circular marginal legend in Arabic script surrounds the central field, separated by a plain inner border. The surfaces show characteristic hammered texture with slightly irregular flan. A single pellet is visible in the lower field beneath the central inscription. |

| Reverse description | Central field displays a multi-line Arabic Kufic inscription arranged in horizontal registers within a plain inner circle. The marginal legend in Arabic script encircles the central inscription, separated by a clearly defined circular border. The reverse shows the typical Abbasid-derived format with religious and titular formulae. The hammered flan exhibits slight irregularity at the edges. The overall style is consistent with early 10th-century Islamic gold coinage of the Alid rulers of Tabaristan. |
