| Obverse description | Central circular perforation surrounded by a continuous Arabic legend arranged in a clockwise annular band within a plain raised border. The inscription, rendered in a somewhat barbarous or provincial hand characteristic of cast tin pitis coinage, fills the entire annular field between the central hole and the rim. The lettering is bold and slightly irregular in execution, reflecting the crude casting technique typical of this issue. No additional decorative devices or secondary legends are present in the field. |
