Obverse description Central field contains a multi-line Arabic religious inscription arranged in horizontal bands within a double linear border, surrounded by a dotted inner circle and an outer marginal legend in Arabic Kufic script. A small numeral or mint mark appears above the central text panel. The entire design is executed in the typical Abbasid epigraphic style, with no figural imagery, consistent with Islamic numismatic convention. The marginal legend runs continuously around the outer border, framed by a beaded or rope-pattern circle.
