| Obverse description | Arabic inscription in the central field enclosed within a six-pointed star (hexagram), formed by two interlocking triangles rendered in raised relief. The hexagram border is decorated with a dotted pellet border along its outer edges, with additional pellets filling the interstices of the star points. The inscription reads 'Qa'an al-Adil' (the Just Khan), referencing the anonymous Mongol overlord without naming a specific ruler. The overall design reflects the adoption of Islamic epigraphic conventions by the early Mongol administration. |
