| Obverse description | Central field occupied by a multi-line Arabic religious or honorific legend arranged in stacked horizontal lines within an inner circle. The inscription is executed in angular Kufic script typical of Qarakhanid coinage of the early 11th century. A marginal legend in Arabic script runs around the circumference within a beaded or rope border. The flan is irregular and slightly off-center, consistent with hand-hammered production. The relief is moderately bold though partially flat in areas due to uneven striking. |
