| Obverse description | Central field bearing multiple horizontal lines of Arabic Kufic inscription arranged in a rectangular text panel, naming the Buyid amir Baha' al-Dawla Abu Nasr. A circular marginal legend in Arabic script runs within the beaded border, containing Quranic or formulaic religious text. The overall layout follows the standard Abbasid-influenced epigraphic dinar format, with no figurative imagery, relying entirely on calligraphic inscriptions to fill the field. The coin exhibits the characteristic irregular flan of hammered medieval Islamic gold coinage. |
