| Obverse description | Hammered gold dinar of typical Fatimid-influenced style. The central field features a circular inner ring enclosing a multi-line Arabic religious legend in Kufic-transitional script, with the text arranged in stacked horizontal lines. Surrounding the inner circle is a broad annular band bearing a continuous Arabic inscription in the field, itself enclosed by a beaded or plain outer border. The overall layout follows the concentric-ring design characteristic of Burid coinage struck at Damascus. |
