| Obverse description | Central field displays a multi-line Arabic religious legend arranged in three or four horizontal lines within a plain inner circle. The inscription contains the Islamic profession of faith (shahada) and Quranic verses typical of Abbasid-style dinars. A circular marginal legend in Arabic script runs between two concentric dotted or beaded borders surrounding the central field. The overall layout follows the epigraphic style standard to Buyid gold coinage, with no figurative imagery, entirely devoted to religious and administrative text. |
