| Obverse description | Central field occupied by a multi-line Arabic religious and titular inscription arranged in several horizontal lines within a plain inner circle. The text, executed in the angular Kufic script characteristic of late 11th-century Islamic gold coinage, contains Quranic invocations and the shahada. A circular marginal legend in Arabic script runs along the inner border, separated from the central field by a beaded or dotted inner ring. The flan is irregular and slightly ragged at the edges, as typical of hammered Seljuq dinars of this period. |
