| Obverse description | Central octagonal cartouche containing the Shahada inscription in Arabic script, rendered in a bold, informal hand typical of provincial hammered coinage. The cartouche is set against a flat, unadorned field. The overall strike is irregular, consistent with hand-hammered production methods used in the Caucasian khanates of the early 19th century. |
