| Obverse description | A lion passant to the right occupies the central field, with a radiate sun rising above its back, the solar disc rendered with multiple straight rays. The composition is enclosed within a dotted border that follows the irregular flan. The lion-and-sun motif is a well-known emblematic device associated with Mesopotamian and Persian iconographic traditions as adopted on medieval Islamic copper coinage. |
