| Obverse description | Central field bearing a multi-line Arabic legend in Kufic-derived script, arranged in horizontal registers across the flan. The inscription contains the Islamic profession of faith (Shahada) along with the name and titles of the issuing authority. The hammered flan is irregular in outline, characteristic of medieval Islamic coinage, with raised lettering showing typical die-struck relief. The field is unadorned save for the epigraphic content, with no figurative imagery, consistent with Islamic numismatic tradition. |
