| Obverse description | Within a continuous wreath of olive branches encircling the central field, a two-line Arabic legend in bold calligraphic script reads 'Al-Naqib Salah' (Captain Salah), denoting the ruling authority. The inscription is the principal design element, rendered in a flowing Naskh style and occupying the full central field. No portraiture or figurative imagery is present, consistent with Islamic artistic convention. |
