| Descrizione del dritto | Central field occupied by multiple horizontal lines of Arabic and Mongolian (folded script) legends, presenting the royal titulature and religious formulae of Ilkhan Arghun. In the lower portion of the field, a stylized hawk (the dynastic emblem) is depicted with spread wings and prominent tail feathers, rendered in the bold hammered relief characteristic of Ilkhanid gold coinage. The entire design is enclosed within a beaded border. The Mongolian folded script inscription is integrated among the Arabic lines, reflecting the dual cultural identity of the Ilkhanate. |

| Descrizione del rovescio | Central field bearing four to five horizontal lines of Arabic legend in a bold, angular hand, containing the Islamic profession of faith (Shahada) and the name and titles of the ruling Ilkhan Arghun, along with the mint name and date where struck. The legends are arranged concentrically within a double circular border, the inner border being a plain line and the outer border formed by a continuous interlace or chain ornament, consistent with Ilkhanid dinar typology of the period. The field is flat and the relief is sharply struck, characteristic of high-quality hammered gold coinage. |

Arghun Khan's reign saw a sustained attempt to reorient Ilkhanate political culture away from Islamic convention, and these gold dinars reflect that directly. Arghun was a practicing Buddhist with close ties to Nestorian Christian advisors, and his administration stripped Arabic religious formulae from the coinage — a striking departure from his predecessors. The hawk-and-sun device draws on older Turco-Mongol solar symbolism that predates Islam in the steppe tradition entirely.
Album 2144A is among the rarer variants of the Arghun gold series. Diler's Ar-172 designation places it within a tightly defined typological group, though surviving examples vary enough in mint and date legibility to complicate precise attribution.
