| Obverse description | Central field displays a stylized standing figure or architectural motif rendered in Kufic-influenced relief, surrounded by a multi-line Arabic legend arranged in horizontal bands within a plain linear border. The inscription occupies the majority of the flan, with a small ornamental device visible below the central motif. The overall composition is characteristic of early Umayyad-era provincial copper coinage, with bold, angular lettering typical of mid-8th century Jazira mint production. The irregular flan edge reflects the hand-hammered striking technique of the period. |
