| Obverse description | Arabic inscription occupying the central field of this crudely hammered square flan, struck during siege conditions. The legend is rendered in a cursive Naskh-style script, partially legible due to the irregular surface and folded multi-layer construction of the planchet. Dot embellishments are visible flanking the inscription. The flan edges are jagged and uneven, characteristic of emergency coinage produced under duress. |
