| Obverse description | Arabic legend in the field, struck on an irregular flan typical of hammered copper coinage of the Yarkand Khanate. The inscription names the issuing ruler, Abdullah Khan, rendered in a bold, somewhat crude calligraphic hand. The legend fills the central field with minimal border decoration. The irregular shape and uneven strike reflect the hand-hammered production technique characteristic of Central Asian fulus of this period. |
