| Obverse description | Hammered gold tari of irregular flan, struck in the Fatimid tradition. The central field contains a multi-line Arabic kufic inscription arranged in four lines within a plain inner circle, reading the shahada followed by the ruler's name. A marginal legend in Arabic script runs around the outer border, partially off-flan due to the irregular striking. The overall style closely follows the Sicilian-Arab monetary tradition inherited from the earlier Muslim emirate of Sicily. |
