The inner and outer marginal legends are arranged in concentric bands, separated by a beaded border at the coin's edge. The reverse carries the Quranic citation from Surah al-Tawba (9:33) and the name of the Caliph al-Amin, affirming his authority. The hammered flan exhibits the characteristic irregular outline of Abbasid gold coinage, with strong, well-defined lettering throughout. |
