| Obverse description | Central field features multiple horizontal lines of Arabic kufic inscription arranged within a double circular border. The inner legend panel is enclosed by a beaded or dotted inner ring, with a further marginal legend running continuously around the circumference between two concentric linear borders. The overall design follows the classic Abbasid-derived dinar format, with religious formulae occupying the central area and additional dynastic or regnal inscriptions in the outer margin. The flan is slightly irregular at the edges, characteristic of hammered gold coinage of the period. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a similar epigraphic composition to the obverse, with multi-line Arabic Kufic inscriptions filling the central circular field, surrounded by a continuous marginal legend between two concentric linear borders. The inner inscriptions reference Islamic religious formulae and dynastic titulature associated with the Najahid ruler al-Mu'ayyad Najah. A beaded inner ring separates the central text panel from the outer marginal band. The hammered flan shows characteristic surface texture and slight irregularities consistent with medieval Islamic gold coinage production in Yemen. |
