| Obverse description | Central field occupied by a bold, deeply struck nasta'liq and thuluth calligraphic legend arranged in multiple lines, recording the mint name Ardabil and the AH date 990. The inscription is set within a plain inner border, surrounded by a continuous foliate or rope-pattern outer border following the irregular flan edge. The die-work is characteristic of late Safavid hammered gold coinage, with high-relief lettering and a granular field texture. |
