| Obverse description | Central field occupied by a recessed square cartouche containing a multi-line Arabic religious legend in angular Kufic script, arranged in three horizontal registers. An outer marginal band encircles the square frame, itself bearing a continuous Arabic inscription in cursive script running around the periphery of the flan. The overall composition follows the classic Ilkhanid dirham typology, with no figural imagery, the design relying entirely on epigraphic ornament. The hammered flan is irregular in outline, with characteristic uneven edges typical of medieval Islamic silver coinage. |
