| Obverse description | Central field divided by horizontal lines into registers bearing the Trinitarian formula in Arabic script, invoking the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit as the one God. A small cross on a pedestal appears within the lower register of the field, serving as a distinctive Christian symbol incorporated into the Islamic coin format. The surrounding marginal legend records the mint name and regnal year in Arabic. The overall composition reflects the syncretic character of Ilkhanid coinage struck for the Georgian Christian population under Arghun Khan. |
