| Obverse description | Aniconic field with the Shahada (Islamic profession of faith) inscribed in three lines at center within a single inner circular legend band, all enclosed by a raised linear border. The inner marginal legend reads the mint and date formula, while the outer marginal legend carries a Quranic verse (Rum 30:4-5), all executed in fine raised Kufic script. The flan is irregularly shaped, as typical of Abbasid-period hammered gold coinage, with a plain, slightly uneven rim. |
