| Obverse description | Central field bears a multi-line Arabic religious legend arranged in horizontal lines within a double circle, featuring the Islamic profession of faith (Shahada) alongside the name and titles of the issuing ruler. The inscription is executed in angular Kufic script with foliated elements characteristic of eastern Islamic coinage of the early 13th century. A circular marginal legend in cursive Naskh script runs along the inner border, containing additional Quranic or honorific formulae. The flan is irregular and slightly dumpy, typical of hammered gold dinars of the Transoxanian region. No figural imagery is present, consistent with Islamic numismatic convention. |
