| Obverse description | Central field bears a multi-line Kufic religious inscription arranged in horizontal lines within a plain inner circle. Two concentric marginal legend bands surround the central medallion; the inner marginal legend records the mint name (al-Ahwaz) and the hijri date, introduced by the Basmala formula. The entire design is executed in the hammered Islamic tradition, with bold angular Kufic script characteristic of the Great Seljuq period. The flan is irregular in outline, typical of hand-struck gold dinars of this era. |
