| Obverse description | Central field bearing a multi-line Arabic religious inscription arranged in horizontal registers within a plain inner circle. The inscription contains the Kalima (Islamic declaration of faith) in Kufic script. An outer marginal legend in Arabic runs along the periphery, separated from the central field by a dotted or beaded border. The overall style is typical of Samanid-era copper fulus, with bold angular Kufic lettering and minimal decorative embellishment. |
