Obverse description Central field bears a multi-line Arabic religious legend in angular Kufic-influenced script, reading 'al-'izza lillah al-wahid al-qahhar' (Glory belongs to God, the One, the Almighty), arranged in two or three horizontal lines. The inscription is framed within a decorative inner border composed of interlocking or foliate ornamental devices at the base, with a beaded outer border encircling the entire design. The flan is irregular and slightly concave, characteristic of hammered silver coinage of the Golden Horde period. The field surrounding the legend shows a flat, unadorned surface with typical die-strike irregularities.
