| Obverse description | Central field occupied by a multi-line Arabic Kufic-style inscription arranged in four or five horizontal lines, bearing the name and titles of the ruler Ghiyath al-Dunya wa'l-Din Mahmud. The inscription is bold and angular, characteristic of the late Qarakhanid epigraphic style. An inner beaded or rope border frames the central legend, with a marginal circular inscription running along the outer rim of the coin in smaller script. The flan is irregular and slightly uneven, typical of hammered gold coinage of the period. |
