| Obverse description | Irregularly shaped hammered gold flan bearing a multi-line Arabic legend disposed across the central field. The inscription, executed in an early Naskhi or Kufic-influenced script typical of 12th-century Iranian dynastic coinage, carries the Shahada in three lines: the first proclaiming the unity of God, the second His uniqueness, and the third the prophethood of Muhammad. The flan shows characteristic surface undulation, edge cracking, and flan stress marks consistent with hand-hammered medieval Islamic gold coinage. The field is otherwise unadorned, the legend occupying virtually the entire face. |
