| Obverse description | Central field features a stylized architectural motif resembling a mihrab or gateway form with three arched elements, rendered in bold relief characteristic of Chagatai hammered coinage. The central device is enclosed within a circular beaded border, surrounded by concentric rings bearing Arabic legends in Kufic-influenced script. The field displays typical flat-hammered fabric with irregular flan edges. Inscriptions in the surrounding bands reference the issuing authority and mint formula standard to Mongol successor state coinage. |
