| Obverse description | The obverse bears a multi-line Arabic religious inscription in bold, high-relief Naskh script arranged horizontally across the central field, enclosed within a raised inner circle. The central legend opens with the Shahada, followed by the name of the Prophet Muhammad and the honorific title of the Abbasid Caliph al-Nasir li-Din Allah, Commander of the Faithful. A Quranic verse in Arabic script forms a continuous circular marginal legend running along the inner border, separated from the central field by a raised circular line. An additional outer marginal band of Arabic text encircles the entire design, completing the epigraphic programme. The overall style is consistent with early thirteenth-century Islamic hammered coinage, with no figural or geometric ornament. |
