| Obverse description | Central field bearing multiple lines of Arabic inscription in angular Naskh script, arranged horizontally across the flan. A decorative arched or domed motif surmounts the uppermost line of legend, characteristic of Artuqid coinage of this period. The legends reference the ruler's name and titles. The flan is irregular and slightly ragged at the edges, consistent with hand-hammered production. The die is well-centred despite the irregular planchet. |
