| Obverse description | Hammered gold dinar of irregular flan with no figurative imagery, consistent with Islamic aniconic tradition. The central field contains the Shahada in multiple lines of Kufic-influenced Arabic script: 'There is no god but God, alone, without partner; Muhammad is the Messenger of God.' A circular marginal legend running along the inner border carries the Quranic verse (Quran 9:33): 'He it is who sent His Messenger with guidance and the religion of truth, that He might cause it to prevail over all religions, however much the polytheists may be averse.' The script is executed in a bold, somewhat angular hand typical of Seljuq-era provincial gold coinage. |
