| Obverse description | Arabic religious legend in Naskh script arranged within a prominent octafoil cartouche at the centre of the field, the lobed outline formed by interlacing strapwork typical of Ilkhanid decorative artistry. The central inscription reads the Shahada or a related Islamic profession of faith. The octafoil is enclosed by a plain inner circle and a distinctive outer dotted (pellet) border running along the coin's periphery, producing a concentric framing device characteristic of Abu Sa'id Khan's Type G coinage. |
