| Obverse description | Central field bears a multi-line Arabic religious inscription arranged within a plain inner circle, consisting of the Shahada and a Quranic verse. The lettering is rendered in a compact, somewhat crude hammered Kufic-derived script typical of Yemeni Rassid dirhams. A marginal legend in Arabic script encircles the central inscription along the inner border. The flan is irregular and shows characteristic uneven striking with areas of weak relief. The overall style is consistent with provincial Islamic hammered coinage of the 14th century AH. |
