| Obverse description | Central field contains a multi-line Arabic religious legend arranged in three horizontal lines within a plain inner circle. The inscription is executed in bold Kufic script and reads the Shahada and related formulae. A surrounding marginal legend in Arabic Kufic script encircles the central field, separated by a beaded or rope border. The overall design follows the classic Abbasid-influenced dinar format, with no figural imagery, consistent with Islamic numismatic convention. |

| Reverse description | The reverse displays a three-line central Arabic Kufic inscription within a plain inner circle, comprising religious and dynastic formulae acknowledging the Abbasid caliph and the Ziyarid ruler Qabus ibn Wushmagir. A continuous marginal legend in Kufic script runs around the periphery, enclosed within a beaded border. The hammered flan shows slight irregularity at the edges, characteristic of medieval Islamic gold coinage. The die work is confident and deeply struck, reflecting the refined mint tradition of the Jurjan mint. |
