| Obverse description | Central field contains the Shahada inscription arranged in multiple horizontal lines within a circular inner border. The kalima is rendered in bold Kufic script, reading the declaration of Islamic faith. A secondary circular legend band surrounds the inner inscription field, separated by a plain linear border. The outer margin features an additional Arabic marginal legend in Kufic script running around the full circumference. The coin exhibits the characteristic flat, irregular flan typical of early Islamic hammered copper coinage. |
