| Obverse description | Aniconic design typical of Abbasid gold coinage. The central field contains a three-line Kufic Arabic religious inscription (the Shahada), reading 'There is no god but God alone, He has no partner.' A single-line marginal legend encircles the central text within a beaded border, carrying the Quranic verse (IX:33) attesting to the mission of the Prophet Muhammad. The entire design is executed in bold, angular Kufic script against a plain gold field, with no figurative imagery. |
